outdoor evergreens
iridescent foil adorns
white ice fluff remains
a living present for us
as the Christmas carols chime





“It’s nearly yuletide” the royal trumpeter exclaimed. “Now who is going to carry the royal horn? The king insists you accompany it with the royal blanket, showing his insignia for all to see.”
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible”, the royal launderer ran in to say. It’s a fiasco in the royal basement! The woolen blanket shrunk in the royal dryer and the royal crest is too tiny to see!”
“Off with his head!”!

1. Are you more socially or community-minded regarding people, or do you not think there is a difference between the two? I try to keep current on my community but I rarely go out since Covid. I keep in touch with my friends and family.
2. On a scale of 1 – 10, how ethically minded do you think you are? What behaviour do you consider to be ethical? Caring for my fellow man and being open minded.
3. Tattoos are a very personal lifestyle choice by those who have their bodies inked. So – Do you think tattoos make people more confident or less?
Do tattoos look good on everyone?
[If you are inked, have you ever regretted any of your tattoos?]. I’ve never had or wanted one mainly because of the pain involved, etc 😳 Most of my grandkids have at least one. Some tattoos are beautiful and make a statement about the wearer. Having a tattoo is anyone’s personal statement and I don’t judge.
4. What enrichment do you personally receive from being social? Have you become noticeably more socially isolated or socially interactive after the pandemic and the lockdowns? There may be no difference in your social behaviour; if this is the case, let me know below. Since I’ve moved into a social oriented building and since health threats abound, I find I still like to keep to myself.
5. What would be your top sustainability tip? Go with the flow as best you can😀
6. We live in a world that treats being open and vulnerable as a taboo and something to be frowned upon, so – do you find it easy or hard to talk to your friends and family about your health? Easy because they’ve all been there with me and they all know I’m open and honest about it all, good or bad.
7 What will you be doing this weekend? The fam will be going to CO today to visit in-laws and tomorrow we will have Christmas here.
8. As the writer and author of your blog, how connected do you feel to your audience? Does your blog reveal too much, too little or just the right balance of you to your readers? It varies every day. Most of my stories are fiction. I’m not a ten year old boy, I just write like one.
9. If you were granted a day at being one of your favourite book characters, who would you choose to be and why?
If I could be one of my favorite characters from a book I would be Joe Ledger😀
10. What do you believe is the greatest threat to our planet today? Ourselves and our egotistical selfish ways.

Seize the day my friends
Emphasize on cute
Nothing so huggy as a baby in a onesie!
And here with temps so cold, lots of added layers on top!
https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2022/12/23/three-things-challenge-m186/Your final three words for this week are:
SEIZE CUTE ONESIE
If you or I ignored a subpoena we would be in jail. Why are these people above the law? One of these people is expected to be Speaker of the House! These facts should make you angry.
“The committee also announced that four members of Congress, who never complied with subpoenas, were referred to the House Ethics Committee.”
“They are Republican congressmen:
All are close allies of Trump, and their resistance in the face of the rules has been emblematic of the antagonistic style of U.S. politics that was growing even before Trump came on the scene.
Whether anything happens to them, though, is unclear since Republicans will control the iteration of the ethics committee in the next Congress and McCarthy is in line to be the next speaker.”
