Joy to the World

Dear Friends and Family,

I would like to add an item to my bucket list.  Participate in a flash mob.  I really do believe they bring some unexpected joy to the world and everyone could use a some of that.  Here is a recent flash mob video I came across...

In my own little corner of the world I am bringing some joy by decorating for holidays.  Putting Christmas decorations on a palm tree in 80 degree weather is a new experience for me and I have to say I liked it!  I am also proud of my Charlie Brown replica tree and at a suggestion from colleagues, I even came up with a make shift blue blanket (Wooby) to put under it.  My aunt picked up some Christmas tree boughs from Home Depot and made me a real wreath to hang on my door which makes it smell like Christmas around here.

The palm tree also has a string of blue lights on it, as I love my blue Christmas lights!  I haven't taken a night picture of them as they are the intense LED lights and I don't think they will photograph well.  I wanted to move the box in the picture (used to carry my plants inside when it's gets cold) but after the maintenance guy had a incident with that box and a snake the other day it is likely I may never touch it again.  It'll probably stay there till it blows away or I move, whichever comes first.

I am sorry/not sorry to hear there is some wintry weather back in the home state.  Sorry that my friends and family have to deal with it.  Not sorry that I live where it's 80 degrees today.  For those dealing with the inclement weather, stay safe and stay warm.

Until next time...
Peace, Love & Joy,
Hope
