Colors


Today I’m grateful for living in a colorful world.  (100 days of Gratitude day 2)

When I moved into my apartment in Finland, I was overwhelmed by the white: White walls, white ceilings, white floors, white furniture.  The first thing I wanted to do was splash color everywhere.  Here, color surrounds me: women wearing intricately embroidered shirts, storefronts painted vivid pinks and bright yellows, woven tablecloths in every open air restaurant, blocks of stalls selling shoes, purses, bedspreads, and rugs in a riot of colors. Everywhere I go, a feast for my sense of sight.
