Try: Bringing Color Into Your Life
Last week, we saw housepainters priming the house out our back window. We were filled with curiosity (especially me, a curious cat for neighborhood haps). What color would they go with? Would it be "startup grey", the most common color of the San Francisco neighborhood where we live?
Aha! A sparkling, snappy blue!
From early morning tea to evening dinner, getting to look out the window at the new bright blue house has genuinely brightened our lives. It seems so simple, but makes a difference in our lives. Just a color change!
Here's another example. Check out this house. It's just a short walk from where we live:
I can't love it more.
There's something about the brightness that suggest strength, optimism and positivity.
We may not all be ready to paint our houses ala Caribbean dream (though I wish we would), but bringing color into your daily life -- in the form of painting a room, or just painting a piece of furniture -- can melt a little stress and help pump up the good vibes. Finding and enjoying those positive feelings is what helps us ride the wave.
A truly incredible row of houses in the Dominican Republic.
