Here is another of my favorite Christmas trees from last month. It kept drawing me like a magnet, I was so fascinated with it. But I do think that the individual decorations on it were prettier than the sum of it's parts together. It was a blue tree that I rhapsodized over. Something else that I'm happy about are my New Year's resolutions, because I know I will be able to keep them this year. Here they are:
1. No Dusting Or Vacuming-Stirring up dust causes sneezing, bad for sinuses.
2. Eat Out More-Cooking at home causes weight gain because of frequent tasting for seasoning.
3. Watch More T.V.-Intellectual stimulation, keeping up with current events.
4. Sleep More-It helps you lose weight because you can't eat while asleep.
5. Talk On the Phone More-Again, good for losing weight, it's hard to eat while talking.
6. No Mopping Floors-This can actually kill you because you can slip and fall on the wet floor. The dirtier the floor, the better traction you have.
7. Eat More-Should I ever decide to exercise, my body will have the necessary fuel to burn.
8. Put My Feet Up More-Makes the blood drain to my head, helping me think better.
9. No Washing Windows-too much light coming in can give you a headache.
10. Lots More Shopping-Good exercise, plus figuring out coupons and sale percentages sharpens my math skills.
11. Snack More-Again, good exercise going to and from the kitchen.
Here is one of the apostle Paul's resolutions, a good one to add to our list as well:
"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified...my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." 1 Cor.2

That's a grand resolution list. I love the colors on that tree. I remember peacocks from my childhood at a local greenhouse. I always loved when I got to see them spread their feathers...
Great resolutions! Some of mine are opposite like eat out less I think we ate out too much last year.
Sounds like a bunch of excuses (ha ha)..all with a glorious background! Well you know that one about the snacks was in especially poor taste! (Lol) Hey, speaking of resolutions, I've decided its my dog that should go on a diet (be watching for an up-coming post- grin)
I see what you mean about the tree, but it is pretty..love all the colors- cheers-
Now THERE's a resolution list for us all!!! ;o) Okay, at least for me!!! tee hee
I see why this is one of your favorite trees Ginny, it is beautiful. I like how everything sparkles and shines.
Great resolutions, these are ones that most of us could actually keep. Too funny, thanks for the giggles.
Ginny oh Ginny, u are really funny!!! Eat more to lose fuel.. talk more on phone to refrain eating.. sleep more to avoid eating.. hahaha.. u r really funny but i agree with you 100%!!
Very cool resolutions :)
I could keep these resolutions too!
I shall follow your good example! ☻
What a great resolution list you have there, Ginny!!
I don't think any of us would have a hard time with that! LOL
i agree, the close ups of the ornaments, especially the header shot, are better than the whole view. it is pretty though. of course you know i agree 100 percent with all your resolutions and will do my best to keep them. my favoirte is the don't clean windows but the reason is not a headache but the fact the light makes the dust bunnies more visible, in fact they gleam.
I have forwarded your post to Martha Stewart. I feel certain that your resolutions will be a part of her January 2012 issue when it hits the newstands! Took me a while to pick my laughing self up off the floor to do this.
Oh, and love the photos of that blue/green tree.
To answer your question: January 12
Best,
Bonnie
Breathtaking absolutely breathtaking! The tree is amazing.
Great resolutions! I think I'm changing mine but stealing yours, lol!
I wish you could see the smile on my face. I think we all could keep those resolutions were they ours :-). Have a wonderful day, Ginny. Blessings...Mary
More bling and some great resolutions. e can all relate to those. And keep them.
Great post and resolutions. I always have an idea but it never works. I ate a cupcake NY's day and that killed the first goal. :( But hey! It's fun trying.
Loved the closeups, the resolutions laughs, and Paul's resolution. Look forward to catching up once i am back to blogging. May your new year be blessed, both in person and in the blogosphere!
I like your New Year Resolutions. I think I could keep them without any problems. I also like that blue Christmas tree.
Hi Ginny, What a list! You have such a unique and wonderful sense of humor! Your list just made me smile! Have a super day!
You are too funny! I've been putting up my feet more but it hasn't done anything for my thinking processes, LOL!! Have to work on #5 - neither of us like talking on the phone much. Fun post!
Now these are my kind of new year's resolutions.I think I will join you.Did you know that dirty windows act like a UV filter and dust on the furniture is actually a protective coating.HA! HA!
I like these thoughts.
Blessings,Ruth
Very good resolutions there... I think I could keep these for sure!
beautiful Christmas tree
happy new year
GREAT bunch of resolutions, Ginny... Think I would go really well following that list!!!!! ha ha ha
Love your 'blue' tree --and its decorations... Gorgeous.
Hugs,
Betsy
I like your list -- I think I'll do that!
That is fantabulous, Ginny!!!! Congratulations on making the very best New Year's Resolutions EVER ;-)
I think even I could stick to that resolution LOL
That blue tree is wonderful. I just love the fancy, sparkling clip-on birds; they remind me of my German Christmas Ornaments that we had... very beautiful!
You've got some great resolutions there, I may try a few of those myself. I might add that washing windows could get you in trouble with the animal rights people because clean windows are a hazard to the birds :)
And you might add: Blog more! A person can't have too many friends!!
Beautiful tree! I love your list!
kim
Ginny...I never imagined your resolutions would be like these!! I LOVE your sense of humour!
The tree is very beautiful! Losing weight is something that's always in the back of my mind but exercise...? Still chuckling thinking about your list!!
I love your list of resolution, Ginny. I resolve . . . to FULFILL every single one of them TOO.
Oh, and yes, I've read One Hundred Years of Solitude. Read it way back in the day. I think it might be due for a re-read.
Well that sounds like a good comfortable list of resolutions. At least if you can get someone else to do the cleaning for you while you're dining out and enjoying the shopping!
