The Color of Sadness
Sometimes a colorful life can be dulled by a grieving heart. My life is the color of sadness right now.

Does Laughter Have a Color?
I thought about laughter this morning when I stepped on the peddle to open the garbage can and tossed in an eggshell. Earlier I’d put in an empty paper towel holder, standing it on end.
