Friday Exhale

We've been lulled into thinking it must be at least March

because winter has dragged on for a long time, it seems, and the temps

have been rather moderate. 

    UNTIL TODAY!

14 degrees on the Mini thermometer this morning, folks! Because

guess what: it is still January - heart of the winter!

People in my office are getting a

little nutsy about it. There's a lot

of sighing and dragging of feet in

the morning. Sweaters are getting

older and rattier. Uggs are being

worn with skirts. RUNNY noses are

the norm. And there's lots and

lots of chocolate and carbs

being consumed.  

Winter is bleaching the life out of 

us!

To combat the life-draining,

monochromatic

challenge of the whitest season of the

year, 

 Your Post Today Is Brought To

You By the Color

 

.

  Did you know

that RED was 

invented

precisely 

for  midwinter by 

St. Valentine who 

wants you to have

a drop of

crimson,vermilion,

cochineal, bloody red

.

RED?

Surround yourself with RED this weekend. Drink it in your wineglass, rouge it on your cheeks, even color it through your hair if you dare. Put on a red dress, red shoes, red scarf, and definitely a red beret.

My work here is done.

Have a very reddy weekend!
