FUSCIA MY COLOR TODAY!

So the first thing I do when sitting down to write a blog is decide what color to make the ink on the page. Don't know if you can tell what color I chose here... it is a green tone, although on my screen it just looks black... Black and white how boring is that. I always like to choose colors to add to whatever I am writing. I prefer to print out my work wall calendar in color rather than in black and white - that way I can actually tell what the color codes indicate - pay day, holiday, etc.

When I was a teenager and they first came out with those soft tipped flair pens of multiple colors and went crazy! I would draw these very cool looking half circles and long rounded ended pictures and then proceed to color them in with multiple colors. It was my doodling. I used to take these to Dr. Pickthorn and ask him to analyze them... He would smile and say "you like lots of color". 

He as right, of course I was disappointed by this answer because I was sure there was some deep psychiatric reason I liked to draw these things and it should be the window into my soul.

Then I would try another point of view, but overall when I looked at my pictures they were pretty much the same thing, just different combinations of colors. Maybe that is why art was never my forte. So fortunately I had another talent, and that was to sing. 

Of course then I could knit, write good letters to my mom and friends, I have boxes full of letters that we wrote. I don't write letters like I used to. Got lazy after my mom died. Started using e-mail, but how do you save e-mail on those special pieces of paper that have beautiful colors and flowers and multiple scenes that say something special about the person who sent you that letter or that you picked out to send to that special person? It just doesn't hold the same romance re-reading them on flat white printer printouts... ooo maybe I should invent the Letter e-mail you can print and it will look like an old fashioned letter? Probably someone already has done that. Invention takes a lot of effort and time on my part to actually follow through on the wonderful idea I had. 

So now the color wheel has gone around and my ideas that I had when computers were first put on the desktop have mostly been done although not exactly the way I would have done them... I still think we need a birthday card from grandma that starts playing automatically on her birthday every year and it has the grandchildren saying or singing happy birthday on it! Then when grandma dies that could be a really creepy thing to put on her grave or there would be a chip to turn it off - just cause, you don't want to creep out the person who inherited all of grandma's stuff. 

So the color of my day will be fuscia today, I will wear a pink shirt, a pink hat and black slacks, and that brings my love for colors bright and beautiful to my friends and colleagues. Hope your day is fuscia like mine.
