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.

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..
