lime green

A second grader at my school was "star student" this week, and was asked to fill out a poster all about herself. In typical second grade fashion, she answered every question very well with lots of really good information. And then there it was: What is your favorite color? You know what she said? LIME GREEN. Not just green, but lime green. First of all, I have to agree that lime green is right up there with the most amazing colors, but the big thing for me was this: she was so specific, so clear. I had to ask myself when was the last time I was that zeroed in on what I like best? In fact, in my sometimes much too busy life, when was the last time I even thought about what my favorite color might be, much less elaborating on it? So...I pose this question here...what is your favorite color? Does this answer come to you easily and if not, can you tap into that little person inside of you that once knew the exact answer to that question (and many others) with all kinds of swirly details?

    Very interesting, I love how specific she was, a second grader who's imagination is so vivid! That's wonderful! I've been thinking about the question you posed. Working with clay all the time, color is big in my life. I mix colors to try and capture that 'perfect' shade for the piece I'm creating. I do know that my favorite color is Red... It's such a powerful color, full of energy! There are so many shades of red and tapping into that little person inside me who once knew exactly... I'd say she would have said Crimson Red.

    About the lime green girl...it gives pause, doesn't it? I want to pick my favorite color to post here. But I notice lately that my absolute favorite color seems to be the one I am looking at in each moment. Seems strange but true. Time was when I could state my favorite color without pause. Now, they all seem extraordinary. By the way Christina, your theme song gets in my head some days and won't leave. I love it. And I love you.

    My favorite color is purple, and it's NOT because I'm an old lady. (LOL) Love your post Tina!
