Just a small amount of apprehension as I begin to post again. I haven’t figured out the whole backup system yet. But here we go, no sense in stopping life… glad to be back.

What colors are meaningful to you and why?

At first I thought it read, “What colors are inspirational…” The following colors are definitely meaningful, because I can be such the sentimental person. I’m just not sure they are inspirational colors for me right now.

Forest green: My elementary school uniform was a forest green plaid. My friends and I disliked it so much we called it “booger green” for a while. Later, around mid-1990s, I was really into dark forest green and burgundy. It seemed sophisticated at the time (college).

Navy blue: This was a color in our wedding and the bridesmaids’ dresses were a dark navy, almost midnight, blue. It is one of the colors from my college alma mater and elementary school, too.

Champagne beige (aka shimmery light khaki): The color of my first car, a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Yellow: One of my mom’s favorite colors, though I think she likes gold. Each bedroom I had growing up was yellow. Light yellow, but not cheery, as if it had a tint of gray in it. Didn’t like it all that much. Not my choice.

Thanks for all the messages about the blog debacle, friends, and welcome new readers!
