day 4 ...30 days of joy

Today I found that one of my biggest Joys, is Color. Ever since i can remember I have always loved color. My Home is colorful My wardrobe probably looks like Walt Disney threw up, and the more of it I have around me the better I feel. Color seems to scare some people. I have had them come into my house and say "Oh, I would never have the nerve to do this. Most of them are standing there with their mouths wide open. I am an artist so I guess that will explain some of it, but I don't think that's,, all of it. If you put me in surroundings with all beige and neutral colors then I quickly become very bored and depressed, so i really feel like I need color in my life to survive. The brighter and bolder the better.
As i look out at nature God's color choices are the best of all. As you gaze at a tree , just try and count the many different greens that are there. Look at the blues, greens, yellows, and pinks that a sunset can produce. I think God likes color as much as i do, and he certainly was not afraid to use it. I call October the Orange month, for all the obvious reasons, but as fall begins to show herself in Mississippi, I love watching all the colors change. Have you ever noticed that even the shadows change. I just wish us working folks had more time to enjoy. Now that the days are getting shorter and shorter we will have to cram in as much of God's beauty as we can.
Before the gas prices skyrocketed and put us all on hold, I used to love to take Sunday afternoon rides to see the different color in the country side. The full moon this past weekend was a glorious site and the gold that lit up my yard , was breathtaking.
As we approach our busiest time of year , please stop long enough to see what God has given us to gaze upon. It is one of the most beautiful paintings ever and it's free. No Museum charges, no hyped up artist Name to pay for, all you have to do is look out a window or step outside., and behold the greatest Artist of all has given you the best gift of all and all you have to do is enjoy.
