I found this article by Sean of the South on Myra's FB page, and it struck a chord for me.
the gist of it is this excerpt from the article.
"Today is the first day of 2023, and the keyword of this current year is “fun.” Sean Dietrich
Life has not had enough FUN since the beginning of 2020.
No matter the reason, This Year of 2023 I am going to
At Home, Away from Home and On this Blog and Beau will be having Fun on his blog too.
I so solemnly swear these are the last Christmas Pics I will show you. I HAD to show you this because insta toon turned the tree
AQUA!
Guess what the new trending color for this year is?
MAGENTA! no more Aqua, we are now trending Magenta,
Last call for Aqua
Pantone: Viva Magenta
Paint company Pantone has chosen Viva Magenta as their color of the year. Viva Magenta is a bold pink shade that is described as brave and fearless. The color is part of the red color family, the shade is rooted in nature and expressive of a new signal of strength.

LUCKY ME, this color and shades of it is already in every room in my house but the bathrooms
I do wish they had advised me before I changed the borders to aqua.
I wonder if blogger has Magenta in the pick list?
Viva La Magenta!

You will not believe this, but just a day or so ago, I was on Pantone's website reading all about this!!! And thinking it is a real pretty color, and it is about time. NOW, do you know the difference between magenta and fushcia? I looked that up maybe a year ago. But you don't think for a moment that I remember, do you? And look at us, we are ALREADY having fun!! Your tree is outrageously, outlandishly PRETTY.
P.S. Went to Beau's blog, remembered something I forget to tell you, left there and came back here to say this. I love your new header. And we all need more fun in our lives this year.
I'm a great believer in having fun. I used to tell Andy, "We need more levity here!" A few times when we were first married his mother sent us $20 bills with the note, "for levity." We kept them as souvenirs. They still warm my heart and make me smile.
we hope so much for fun in 2023... after 3 jears of "fun-eral" it is time for fun...what the fun, huh? ;O)))
Hello,
Have fun, yes we all need to have fun in 2023. I like the aqua tree and the color magnenta but in small doses. Aqua will always be my favorite color.
Take care, have a great day and have fun!

You can be relied upon for our daily dose of light relief, Sandra - despite tough times, you have spread joy and FUN throughout! Would you believe that the roses I treated myself to for Christmas (and are still doing fine) are magenta?! YAM xx
I have never cared much for what Pantone says about the trending color of the year. Just because someone says that's the in thing this year, I refuse to follow. If I like the color and already have things in that color, fine. With that being said, that magenta is really pretty.
I will take magenta over aqua any day. For me, aqua looks like a pretty turquoise got mixed with bile. lol But, I like what the app did to your tree tho.
ROFLMAO at Annie's comment! Growing up in NM, surrounded by turquoise, it's one of my least favorite colors.
Naturally, I had to investi*Google the difference between magenta and my favorite, burgundy/maroon. ("Close enough for government work!") I've only a few splashes about the house here and there, but my son gave me a cute burgundy shirt Saturday that may be my new favorite.
Let's have fun!
FUN is excellent advice and I too will work toward that each and every day.

PS I think I missed yesterday's post...awww i see why it went up at 1:07 pm. I normally come by in the morning.
I wasn't going to choose a word this year....but now I'm tempted! I like to think we can have more FUN this year! I HOPE we can!
I like both those colours -although I'd have thought that shade of red a bit too red to be called magenta. But what do I know... ;-)
Fun seems like a GREAT word. I like magenta, but I am sticking with my aqua.
I am all for FUN too...
I think it will be a good year for all of us.
My word for this year is POSITIVE ....I need to have this be my focus...my word from last year was INTENTIONAL so now I will be
Intentionally Positive !!
I love Sean Dietrich's posts.
I read them just about every day on FB. His down home way of seeing life is so refreshing.

I also was over at pantone's site reading about the trends...I like magenta, but I also like aqua.
My word this year is Adventure....but I think I am going to put the word Fun with it...Adventure Fun!!
Happy Monday!
Magenta is my color. It makes spots of color over the landscape. Fun hasn't exactly been on our plans. Hope to change that in March.
Fun?? Did you say FUN??? We are right there with you. Fun is fun:)

I never pay any attention to trending of anything!
FUN is a good word for you! That's what you ARE!
My word is NEXT. Not sure exactly why....but I intend to "do the next right thing." I used to to say that to my kids a lot when they were growing up and Summer still says it!
Dont you wish you coukd change colors that quick, for real.
Sorry no fun was had for you and here's to your 2023 being lots and lots and LOTS of fun.
fun! I’m in! let’s have fun in 2023 🥰
I have enjoyed all your Christmas photos, your tree is so pretty! Magenta? I don't think I have one thing magenta around here.
Way to go, I pray you have FUN every day! I will try to follow your suggestion.
