MY DAY IN COLOR
Everything I do is stitched with color from the gray fog of a winter morning to the bright white bathroom glow where I wash and decide what type of day I am going to have. My tired green eyes are enhanced with a brown eyeliner to stand out under glasses along with blonde/gray highlights in aging red hair. I decide that a foamy topped cream cup of coffee would spark my brain into writing something passable as a story. Red and green Christmas decorations still linger about my living room and go well with the clean white snow falling in soft layers outside my window. Even winter hues inspire although autumn is still my favorite color pallet. A cold soft yellow sun streaks through wispy clouds while a pink printed quilt covers my stretched out legs. It’s time to be creative.
