Chakra Colors

My third and final entry for the day...

As I mentioned early, I had to have blood work done today for that thyroid of mine that has decided to stop working (as if it's not hard enough to maintain or lose weight when you're over 40 and drink as many calories as you eat in a day!). I had a couple of errands to run afterward, and the weather was gross, so I took a little more time than I normally would to pick an outfit.

I decided on black capris (pretty standard), a white tank, and a 3/4 sleeve cardigan that I haven't worn in over a year I guess. It's not kiwi, not kelly, but in between--bottle green, I believe it's called. Quite by accident, it happens to be one of the colors in my new Vera Bradley bag. It also looks great with my tan, if I may say so, which, if I may say more, is smokin'. Helps with the self-esteem...hey, I may be fat, but I'm well dressed and tan...

The phlebotomist is a little uncertain about my veins, so calls another in. As they are feeling around for a vein, they start commenting on my sweater. What a great color, looks good on me, matches the bag, oh and the jewelry, and where did I get my tan?...I smile and demure and think I'm glad I took this sweater out of retirement.

I go to the deli counter at my grocery store and just as I'm ordering my ham from the woman who has unwittingly become my deli lady, she interrupts and says, "I love your sweater. Can I tell you? I had to get a dress for a wedding next June and I got a jacket to go with it that's that color and I wasn't sure about it, but now that I see it on you, I'm so glad I got it. It's beautiful. And your jewelry looks good with it." Hmmmm....

Off to get some pork tenderloin, and I pass this mother daughter team, aged probably the same as me and my mom or you and yours. As I'm picking through the tenderloins I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around. The mom says, "Excuse me, but my daughter and I were just noticing your sweater. That's so nice. Where did you get it?" Okay. Weird.

Or not. Any normal person would walk away and think, Gee, I should wear this color more often. But I'm not normal. I've been overthinking it. What does it mean that THREE people complimented today? That it's a color I am drawn to and that represents the heart chakra?

My sister L says I need a part time job. lolol. What do you think?....
