A Rainbow Of Colors


 Most of the year my favorite colors are green, blue, indigo and violet a.k.a. purple.  But then when Christmas season comes, I think red is oh so beautiful and pairs so nicely with green and white.  Before that, orange is so spooktactular in its delightful Halloween pairing with black.  And then of course there is yellow.  The color associated with newness and new beginnings.  Yellow is the color of dandelions and buttercups.  Our life giving sun is yellow.  Baby chicks are yellow.  Yellow is an important color of Easter along with the pastels.  It has occurred to me that the colors that are not on my typical favorite area of the color spectrum each have a holiday that grants them special significance and beauty.  How perfect is that as way of appreciating all colors on the color spectrum. 😄👍 Thanksgiving also has its colors of fall foliage and other associated colors of fall and crop harvests.  I like that Christmas also includes silver and gold.  How perfect is that to give an extra dazzling glitz and compliment to its red and green glory.   🎄 🍷 ⭐️  #odetocolors

Interesting also is that to our eyes, black, which is the absence of light and color, is also a visible color and it can shine and have a special beauty like a new pair of patent leather shoes.

North Pole Smoking Controversy

I found myself recalling that the Santa Claus of years gone by smoked a pipe.  It was even described in the book,  Twas The Night Before Christmas.   “The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth.  And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath.”   It’s amazing how times can change.  Nowadays, a smoking Santa would never be part of a children’s book.  I don’t know if any other human beings in history have ever had the experience of seeing the world change so much, and in so many ways, over a few decades of their lives.  I doubt it.  What a pivotal time in human history have those of us living now found ourselves born into. So what is a poor Santa Claus to do without a pipe?  I don’t know.  Maybe replace it with a candy cane. #candyisdandy Okay, I was wrong.  I guess for the sake of tradition and a traditional story, Santa is still sometimes shown with a pipe, at least in this Dollar Tree version of  “Twas The Night Before Christmas”.  It’s a really stupid looking pipe though.  Maybe

Science Fiction

 Oh dear, I think I need a unique space for my sci-fi thoughts and ideas even though I have never in my life been a fan of movies or programs or literature of the sci-fi genre.  (Ok, I did like “Lost In Space” and “Land Of The Lost” as a kid, and I did, as an adult, become interested in watching some episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.)  Anyway, the space will not be a place for any actual stories, but rather just a place for my random thoughts and ideas.

Nutrition & Diet

 If my diet and eating choices are to blame for my heart issue, I am still in denial.  I haven’t changed anything.  Thinking about this, I realize that my cardiologist never said one word to me about food or my diet or making any changes.  I am wondering if she places more weight on the genetic component of these things as opposed to environmental factors.  I don’t know.  Thinking back on it, though, I find it a little odd that food and diet were never mentioned even when I returned for my follow up appointment.
