Time at the beach and what do we see? Orange
My surroundings changed recently. It has dashes of color orange in it.
Coincidentally my mood also has lifted after hitting the lowest low.
The change I am sure, happened to a large extent because I decided I do not want to mope. Willpower is essential. Partly the mood change can be attributed to the change too. But I am beginning to feel we also need some help along the way. And today, when I am trying to write something in response to a writing challenge with the theme color, I am starting to believe orange has, and is, helping me. Orange has been a favorite color for sometime; have held on to orange-colored items – be it a pen, vase, or a notebook.
Now, daily I get to see an orange wall smack in front of me when I sit to watch TV, or sit for dinner, or lie down on bed for a rest. I see orange Tupperware, orange curtains, orange flowers. Picked orange just because it is a nice color. Have heard stuff being associated with various other colors like blue, yellow, red, white, black. But orange has been just plain orange – a colorful bright cheerful color!!!!
Since I am writing today specifically about the color Orange, I quickly did a Google search and found some interesting information. Follow this link to check out the source.
Orange offers emotional strength in difficult times. It helps us to bounce back from disappointments and despair, assisting in recovery from grief.
The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, rejuvenating our spirit. In fact orange is so optimistic and uplifting that we should all find ways to use it in our everyday life, even if it is just an orange-colored pen that we use.

Orange is definitely a rejuvenating and refreshing colour. Though I don’t prefer to wear orange, it is adorable in other things and in nature.
There is something cute and innocent about the pictures.
Earlier I never wore orange. But in recent months I found dashes of orange cute on clothes too. It cheers me up
some call my crave for colors “mid-life crisis”
I do love orange as it brightens up any spot in a vivid way…
It truly does.
But oddly enough it is the reds, yellows, blues and pinks that are mostly talked of
I have been a fan of orange for some time, too. Ironically, I am wearing an orange t-shirt as I write. Odd… ??? … maybe not. I used orange in my jewelry designs alot. Carnelion a deep srimson orange was my favorite semi-precious stone. It felt good to hold in my hands. I knew the meaning os the color but seein git again reminds me of why I like it. Glad it helps lift your spirit …. namaste
