For You I Bleed Myself Dry

Last week's tag and choice went so beautifully! NoRegrets tagged AlienCG first thing Saturday morning and he quickly came up with this week's word...YELLOW. Good job, you two! Very efficient. I like the word, too. It makes me think of that Coldplay song...uh, YELLOW...which I loved in the day and still love! I also like how YELLOW can be used as a way of saying someone is cowardly. It is more fun to call someone a YELLOW bellied cur than to just straight out say, "you coward!" Plus, of course, I like the color YELLOW. Everything from a barely YELLOW cream to a deep buttery YELLOW to screaming neon YELLOW. It is all good. YELLOW feels warm and energizing. But let me get on with it here...yes, I hear the sighs of relief :-)

Here is my YELLOW:

This YELLOW vase is the very first thing that Girlie Girl, Handsome Lad, and I bought that was meant especially for our new place about 15 months ago. We found it at the thrift store. Girlie Girl picked it up and said that we could decorate our whole new home around it. She liked the YELLOW and the nice blue stripe around the top. We all agreed it was perfect.

Here is where the YELLOW vase lives in our new new home. It is on the kitchen window sill and I gaze past it as I wash the dishes. We never did exactly decorate around that vase, but it still fits in perfectly. And it will always be special to me. Almost like a symbol of me...or the kids and me...in our new happy freedom.

I am looking forward to seeing what YELLOW means to the rest of you. Also looking forward to seeing who AlienCG will tag and what will come next!!! Look at the stars...look how they shine for you.
