I have been thinking a lot lately. Thinking too much in fact. Sometimes I get bogged down in my own thinking. I get lost. But there has been a lot to think about lately it seems. I have been saddly thinking about this and this. Thinking about whether to continue this. And how to respond to this.
S hates it when I think so much. He is very much a black and white kind of guy. A good way to be in the line of work he is. I, on the other hand, am quite grey. I try in vain to convince him that my greyness is a sign of my higher intelligence. I think can see both sides of most situations and realize there is always another side of the story. And not that I don't have an opinion. Those of you who know me, know that I most definitely have an opinion on most subjects. But I take great care in developing my thoughts. I am extremely intentional in my words and my actions. However sometimes I bog myself down with so much thought. Which is where I am today.
Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, I have returned to A Year of Color to the color GREY! Amazing how things smack you in the face sometimes. And after a quick tour around the wonderful photos, I have come to a realization. Grey is sometimes cloudy and sad and mucky. But sometimes it can be amazing, beautiful, shiny, simple and cozy.
p.s. Big thanks to Nancy from Mary Jane's Farm who sent me some great vintage buttons (among other things) this week...many of them being grey. *smack*
