Saturday's Question

Every Saturday I'll try to come up with some "out there" question that just makes you stop and think about something not so important. Think of it as a mini vacation. If you have any ideas drop me a line and we'll throw it in here. Who knows, it might be fun.

OK - Here goes: Go back to the happiest time in your memory. What color do you see? Me? I see green.

My favorite memories all include the color green. The green of the grass, the green of the leaves. I have always loved being outside (when it's not snowing) and I think that's one reason why I have such an affection for the color green. Last Friday - standing at the top of this tower, looking around at the surrounding countryside it was a hundred different shades of green. I'm not ashamed to admit - it took my breath away. When I think of my childhood - it was green. Playing in the yard, green grass. Camping - the tent was green. Picking flowers- green there too. Visiting my family - the green in the fields.

It just hit me this morning - every happy memory I have has the color green in it as I replay it in my mind. What about you? What color is tied to your happiest memories? Try it....I think you'll surprise yourself.

Pale yellow. All Tara's nursery and baby stuff was that color.

When I moved, I painted the kitchen yellow, and I am happiest in that room, which is strange, because I don't exactly go in there to sit and relax..

Blues!

The beautiful ocean, the sky....similar to the same reasons you said...but blue.

My sister's eyes...my dad's eyes...

I like blue!

White. I don't know why. Stark white. Crisp.
