Happy Purple Saturday
Since yesterday was Black Friday, I decided to decree today as Purple Saturday. Why… why not? It’s my life and my world, and I get to choose how I view each day. Purple just happened to be the first color that popped in my head. It could have just as easily been yellow, green, red, or heck, even plaid. Do you see where I am going with this one? Our days belong 100% to us. However, no matter how great we are at planning a day, something will happen that shifts the plan. Those shifts are that fun little activity known as life.
Think about the times when someone cut you off in traffic or said something rude to you, and you allowed it to sit inside you and fester. We can allow the comment or event to shift our day in a downward direction, or we can choose to say, “I am not allowing one person’s negativity or one event to steal the rest of my day. It’s my day not theirs.”
My life is by no means all happy, happy, joy, joy all the time. I get pissed at traffic. I get impatient in lines sometimes. I get my feelings hurt. I withdraw sometimes when I have too much on my mind. I do not write about those events that often as do not want to keep the feelings and emotions around, and by writing or continuing to talk about them, they will linger. I do not deny the events either. I see them for what they are, acknowledge I am feeling them, and move forward. I get to choose the color of my world for today.
So, Happy Purple Saturday. What is the color of the sky in your world today?
