From the dictionary : informal (of a person or mood) melancholy, sad, or depressed : he's feeling blue.
This is unfair! How did this, my favorite color, get such a bad reputation? I am going to celebrate blue today. It is a "little thing" that makes me happy. Given a choice, I choose blue 99% of the time. Who can argue with the color of the sky on a beautiful day?
Some of my favorite things:
My newly-spraypainted porch chair and side table. They were ordinary brown (sorry to all those "brown-lovers" out there) and now they are a beautiful blue. I smile whenever I walk onto the porch.
My engagement ring. David reset my original diamond with a sapphire on each side, one for each of our children. My birthstone is not blue but he knows that I love it. And he loves me.
So let's be better advocates for the color blue. Maybe if we all start using it in a positive way, society will start giving it the respect that it deserves! :)
My blue Nissan. I told the salesman "I want that blue car. I don't care what features it has." OK, maybe not a smart move as a consumer, but it all worked out.
My newly-spraypainted porch chair and side table. They were ordinary brown (sorry to all those "brown-lovers" out there) and now they are a beautiful blue.

Now that's "blue sky" thinking! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove all your blue! Oh! I think I will borrow *your* blogging idea and post links to each post on FB! (Now if I can just figure out how to do that....) And how did the vast majority of leos wind up with the peridot for a birthstone??? Dontcha think we should have been something a tad more exciting??? :o)
ReplyDeleteKatie! At the bottom of each post there is a Facebook symbol....if you click on it, it should link you there. I agree that Peridot is not all that great BUT I am going to try to have some piece of jewelry made with the peridot and my grandmother's diamonds. Will keep you posted!
