a coLoRfuL liFe

I really liked April's comment on my last post. She said, "my opinion is life is beautiful because of all the colorfullness...and think how boring it would all be if everything was perfect all the time."

So true! It reminds me of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. They wouldn't know joy if they didn't experience sorrow. We wouldn't appreciate yellow days if we didn't have the gray ones thrown in there.

I also thought of the book {My Many Colored Days} by Dr. Seuss.

"Some days are yellow.
Some are blue.
On different days I'm different too.
You'd be surprised how many ways
I change on Different Colored Days.

On Bright Red Days how good it feels

to be a horse and kick my heels!
On other days I'm other things.

On Bright Blue Days I flap my wings.

Some days, of course, feel sort of Brown.
Then I feel slow and low, low down.

Then comes a Yellow Day and Wheeee
I am a busy, buzzy bee.

Gray Day....Everything is gray. I watch. But nothing moves today.

Then all of a sudden I'm a circus seal! On my Orange Days that's how I feel.
Green Days. Deep deep in the sea. Cool and quiet fish. That's me.
On Purple Days I'm sad. I groan. I drag my tail. I walk alone.
But when my days are Happy Pink it's great to jump and just not think.
Then come my Black Days. MAD. And loud. I howl. I growl at every cloud.
Then comes a Mixed-Up Day. And WHAM! I don't know who or what I am!
But it all turns out all right, you see. And I go back to being...me."

What color are you today? I think I'm a little orange (dancing in the kitchen to Jack Johnson to cheer up Max) a little brown and a little green - if that's possible.
