Blue Light Special

I know I ‘should’ be taking down my Christmas decorations, but I just can’t. I didn’t decorate much this year, a string of white lights around one window surrounding all the lovely cards I got. Then, in an after-Christmas sale, I picked up a string of blue LED lights and put them around another window.

Those blue lights make me really happy, casting a soft, pleasant light throughout the living room. And the fact that they’re so low-energy just makes them all the better.

Then I say to myself, “Well, heck, if you’re leaving up the blue lights, do you really want to take down the white lights and the cards?”

And my answer is no, I don’t. It’s not a matter of laziness, as it is when I don’t do some of the things (ok, many of the things) I intend to do. I really like these lights and the cards. They make me happy.

My decision is to leave them right where they are. To Do List be damned.

Your turn: what’s making you happy today?
