True Colors

For your consideration……

True Colors

by Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

I love when we are sent a song as a message. We are reminded that each of us is the “color on the canvas of each new day.” We can easily get discouraged if we choose to focus on all of the darkness. It is easy to let our vibrancy be muted or colored over. But it can not happen unless we let it.

We can choose to add our color to the light. We can choose to be an active participant in making this day in this world the best it can be. As always, we have a choice. We always have a choice.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate/pray…..put your authentic self in charge.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Pause…..ask, feel, what colors are you today?

What made me smile yesterday……

-Great email from Alex.

-A chilled out relaxing morning.

-Another sunshiny and warm day. I love not having to wear a coat.

-Ahhh, I found my favorite pens again. That seems so minor but I do a lot of writing and am picky about my pens.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
