The Color of Life

I received another gardening magazine today.  As I flipped through the pages and looked at the colorful blossoms, the one color that stood out the most was green.  Green is fresh and is associated with the awakening of spring.  It is the symbol of new beginnings.  It represents nature, renewal and growth.

I love taking a walk just as the last of the snow is melting.  I watch for hints of green buds and new grasses making their way through the browns left by autumn.  The first signs of spring excite me.

When the showers begin to fall, I put on my gear and walk in the rain.  The air is fresh and the greens are brilliant.  The forest is quiet and the only sound to be heard are the raindrops on the leaves.  




I love the color green.  I find it to be tranquil and relaxing.  That is why I chose to paint the interior of my house green.  Bringing it into my home, satisfies my need to see it when I cannot be outside.  I've read that green is used in decorating to nourish health, calm nerves, stimulate positive thoughts and promote healing.  For me, it is the color of moving forward.  It is inspiring.  It is the color of life.
