Things I've been wondering about

I've been thinking a lot lately about colors.  I really do believe that the colors that surround us have an effect on us in someway.  I love bright colors, yellows, reds, oranges, bright greens and even blues.  But in the past couple of years I've moved away from wearing those colors.  I've been wearing more aquas and greens and blues.  These past few years I've also been up and down a lot with my depression and was thinking that I'd moved away from my favorite bright colors and replaced them with the more soothing blues and greens that I've been wearing for quite awhile now.

So in the past couple of weeks I've bought myself a few shirts and each time I went to pick up the red or the yellow or orange and thought to myself "no I'll jsut get the blue or green"  and then I'd pause and think 'well which color is that you really want?' So I bought the red shirts and the yellow and orange ones.  When I wear my bright colors it makes me more self concious, but not in a bad way just more aware of myself.  I used to be a more self confident person and somehow I'd lost that but think that I might be getting it back some. 

I don't know just a random thing that's been rolling around inside my head alot recently.

I believe that colors really do affect your mood. We painted a wall in our family room a bright red, and I find myself spending most of my time in there now because for some reason I just feel like I have more energy and just an better feeling of well being. Sounds weird, I know, but it really works
