Life is short. Be colourful.
Photo: The multi-coloured Christmas lights wrapped around the top rail of my deck in my back yard that I’m seriously considering leaving there because they’re pretty.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure.
Here are the simple JusJoJan Rules:
1. Just Jot It January starts January 1st, but it’s never too late to join in! Here, we run on the honour system; the “jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post, it can even be a grocery list), counts as a “jot.” If it makes it to your blog that day, great! If it waits a week to get from a sticky note to your screen, no problem!
2. I’ll post prompts at 2am my time (GMT -5). The prompt will be the word in quotation marks in the title of my 2am post. You don’t have to follow the prompt every day, but that will be where you leave your link for others to see. You’ll get a prompt for every day except Wednesday, when the prompt is simply my One-Liner Wednesday and on Saturday, when your prompt will be the Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS, which will appear at about 9:30am Friday. Each prompt post will include the rules.
2 a) The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!
3. Please ping back or link to the daily prompt. To ping back, just copy the URL from the daily prompt post, and paste it anywhere in your post. Check to make sure your link shows up where you want it to, and go back occasionally to see other bloggers’ entries – the more you visit others, the more they’ll visit you! Note: A) The newest pingbacks will be at the top of the comments section. B) Ping backs only work if you’re blogging on WordPress. Everyone else must paste a link manually.
4. Tag your post JusJoJan25 and/or #JusJoJan25.
5. Write anything! Any length will do! It can even be a photo or a drawing – you’re going to title it, right? There’s your jot!
6. If your post is NSFW, do not ping back. Please leave your link in the comments with a warning.
7. If you’d like to, use the JusJoJan badge so that others can find your post more easily.
8. Have fun!

No, I ended up taking them down when the snow really started to melt.

If they make you happy, keep them!I missed my inside Christmas lights so much one year that I bought a few other lit ‘year round’ decorations and have had them in the windows ever since. Life IS short, let your lights shine. 💞💞💞

I’ve thought about getting year-round lights too. The white ones in my neighbour’s back yard are there all year. 😀 Thanks, Dawn!

Very pretty.
I have left my lights on my front railing. I don’t turn them on every night, but I love how pretty and cheerful they are when I do turn them on.

I’m colorfully with you. 😊 I strung orange Halloween lights out from a young tree to make the twinkling lights sort of resemble a bonfire. They are still there snd twinkling every night. I put up my Christmas tree on November4th and took it down(reluctantly) on January 11th. I love the colors, too.
