28 Days of Gratitude: Day Four - Color

I am grateful for color.  What would my world be like without it?   It enhances ever experience, accents every feeling, reflects every mood.  It gives life its joie de vivre (joy of life).  I know I am so very fortunate to see and feel color.

I recently painted the interior of my home.  Years ago I had painted everything white, navajo white to be exact.  It was a pleasant, neutral color (or lack of color), that reflected who I was at the time.  That's not me any more.  I am colorful.  Yep, me.  The inner artist is emerging.  No matter how hard I try to supress it, it will out.

My living room is yellow, happiness, hospitality, light.  My dining room is red, hope, passion, happiness.  I hear red stimulates the appetite.  My den and bedroom are shades of green.  Spring, peace, tranquity.  My bathroom is blue.  Life-giving, good health.  What's interesting is the somehow knew these things innately without studying a chart like the one pictured here.  This makes be realize we just need to listing to our intuition when coloring our world.

Ultimately, I know that color is indeed one of the things for which I am most grateful.  It is one of the ture blessings of life.
