    Purple, Seahorses - What Next?

    Filed Under lil things, new things, small happinesses 

    I don’t know what’s up with my unconscious mind these days. First, out of nowhere, it was the fondness for seahorses; now, it’s a new color.

    I have never, ever been a fan of the color purple. Or lavender. Or plum. I don’t even like grape juice. But last week I went to the Buffalo Exchange (a used clothing store chain) and picked up a few “new” shirts. Several days later as I was looking for earrings to match, it dawned on me that of the four new shirts, two were purple. One is entirely purple, and the other has purple all throughout. This seemed odd to me, and I even mentioned it to the LH and a friend. Out shopping again with a gift card left over from my birthday, I picked up a new shirt that I had to have. A few hours later, it caught my eye as I sat on the sofa, and I realized it was also purple!

    And then I was at Ten Thousand Villages for Christmas shopping, and came upon a glittery necklace that I absolutely had to have! As I looked for matching earrings it occurred to me that I was looking at purple earrings. Eww! But I’m wearing them right now.

    What on earth is going on?!

    Of all the colors … purple. The only colors I disliked more were pink and the bright neons. You think you know yourself ….

    I hope my personality isn’t splitting on me.

      Purple seahorses. Hmm. Changed or started any new habits lately? No, I’m not saying you are on drugs just that maybe something new is allowing other aspects of yourself to come forth.

      The first year that I committed to exercising, I also got into Mexican soap operas (Novellas). I enjoyed watching them while exercising on the treadmill or elliptical trainer. I lost interest when the gym changed locations.

      Toon - wow; I hadn’t thought of that. And what am I doing that’s new? Hmm … I’ve been cooking a lot (for me), and party planning. Hmm. And this is my first year fully celebrating Christmas. Oh, and I did choose to be an atheist recently. The last one is pretty major. I suppose there’s no way to know for sure what’s prompting the purple love. The LH offered that it might just be highly effective marketing.
