All Year Evergreen Trees





 I don’t know if this is true in other areas of the country, but where I live there is this trend to have Christmas trees up all year round or at different times other than Christmas.  I wouldn’t really call them Christmas trees though because they are decorated throughout the year for different occasions and seasons.  I have seen this in at least three different medical practices and also a car dealership.  Sometimes they are  smaller trees, and sometimes they are full-size trees.  Personally, I think it is pretty cool. 😎 I have always thought that I would like to keep my Christmas tree up all year if it wouldn’t be viewed and seen as being weird.  I wouldn’t of course leave Christmas ornaments on it all year, but I would use different seasonal decorations instead.  Lots of places use white Christmas type lights throughout the year and also different kinds of trees with white lights such as olive trees.  In nature, evergreen trees exist all year.  Why should evergreen trees have to be excluded because they are traditionally Christmas trees?  I know this is the kind of thing that is very much a matter of personal taste and opinion, but my vote is that lighted evergreen trees throughout the year should be viewed as being a cultural norm and not odd. 😂😄👍 There is just something pleasant, comforting and uplifting about getting to see a lighted evergreen tree at any time of the year.  This is my personal opinion and feeling anyway.  To each their own. 😁

Wow, that was long.  This is why people aren’t interested in my long winded thoughts. 😳 I’m sure that I would be told that I could’ve made that much shorter. 🤨

I never took any pictures of the full size tree that was always there in my former cardiologist’s office.  😕

COVID

One of the unsettling things about COVID-19 was that before actually contracting it, no one could be absolutely certain where they might fall on its’ Russian roulette wheel of lethalness.  Healthy people with few risk factors could take comfort in believing that they would be unlikely to become seriously ill, but there were always stories and cases in the news of young and seemingly unlikely victims who had in fact lost their lives to COVID.  When I finally got it myself in summer 2022, I had very brief and mild symptoms.  I might totally have my vaccinations to thank for this because in years gone by before I started getting annual flu shots, I had some flus that did a good job of kicking my but and keeping me down for a full week. I must have written that for the benefit of some future people who know little about COVID-19, because obviously anyone who has recently gone through the pandemic doesn’t need this information. 🫢

Thoughts & Insights

 Sometimes I have thoughts that are gift to me and sometimes they are my own.  I think they sometimes are a combination of both.  I guess that makes sense if I find them in my own head.  What I do truly know, though, is that there is a greater source from which we human beings can draw intelligence, wisdom and clarity when we find our way to tap into it.

Music & Animals

 Why is it that other species of animals can’t appreciate music in the way that humans do?  I’ve never seen a dog respond in any way to music.  Maybe I am wrong.  There are a lot of other species on the planet and in the ocean.  An interesting thing is that my dog who was very fearful of noises, never minded or cared when I would play music in my car.  She would just sit there and be perfectly calm and fine.
