During these mostly gloomy days of winter my eyes have been attracted one particular color, like they have not been attracted to before. This magical color is: YELLOW! I have never really been attracted to yellow so strongly in the past. I mean, I adore the sun, and it makes me happy. I love a yellow tulip, and I prefer mustard far more than ketchup. But recently, like maybe over the past week or so, I have fallen in love with this beautiful hue! Maybe I have been afraid of this color, after all, since the time my daughter was a baby, every time she wore the color yellow, she ended up getting stains all over her clothing, so maybe subconsciously I have stayed away from this sunny delight! Who knows, and I can tell you I am no longer questioning my dislike for the color any longer. Just the other day, I was in my favorite 'big box' store when I ran across a scarf with bright yellow lemons all over it. I was so attracted to this scarf, I quickly ran over and picked one up to buy. The scarf made me smile, and if you know me, you know the LAST thing I need is another scarf! But, I purchased the scarf, and I am wearing it today, and I feel happy in it! Just yesterday I was working on one of the art projects, that has been collecting dust on my dining table, when I decided the project needed a splash of yellow on it to brighten it up, and so the project has a splash of yellow on it, too!
Then today, while driving into work, I heard the song "Mellow Yellow"...you know the one..."they call me Mellow Yellow". So now I'm beginning to think...have I heightened my awareness to the color YELLOW, or is YELLOW really all the new rage?!?!? Who really knows, but if YELLOW is the new rage, I am super excited about this sunny breakthrough!
Today's activity: discover the color YELLOW
Today I encourage you to discover or rediscover the color YELLOW! Yellow is such an amazing hue, from its warm gold tones, to its buttery mild tones. Yellow makes my skin feel warm, makes my mouth want to smile, and makes my heart skip a beat! Yellow corn makes my chicken look yummier, and yellow lemonade quenches my thirst! What does yellow do you for? Do you love it or hate it? Does it makes you smile and warm your soul? Look at yellow in a way that you never have before, and then think for a moment...what would life be like if we all lived in Yellow Submarine!
