Tossing and turning to "gold!"

OK, I'm thinking yellow is a sunny beginning for the week and gold is even better. Didn't folks turn their whole lives around for that?
Why do we think yellow is cheery?
[Does this harken back to the gold issue? Probably not.]

I like the sunflowers and daisy shaped flowers, they are usually yellow. Looking out my window I am seeing a BIG yellow centered tire on a John Deere tractor...even THAT is cheery! So much better than a dull gray tire, if you really want to get into that issue!

Golden morning are warm and have grand expectations for possible picnics and deliver perfect drying days for the wash on the line. MMM! Smell those fresh clothes!

Who can resist the golden eye of the tiger cats? Not me.

Yellow does not mean cowardice, it means yellow ribbons to greet the loved one coming home!!

[My thoughts are not finished with yellow yet but I will move on around the color wheel as it influences my life...]

Catching the elusive thought minnow

After the first cast the next step is to catch that elusive thought minnow. Not the big one or even the panfry size but a minnow thought. One that can grow and give me a chance for a bigger catch another day!

The minnow thought today is: Learn to listen, so the egotist isn't me!

Next thought, as yet unanswered...

[Because I LOVE COLOR, and think ABOUT IT A LOT!]
...A thought about the feeling a special color might give off.
Do colors live and breath and give?

I will work on my answer to my own question. Maybe I will be ready to cast out again and reel one in? Perhaps larger than a minnow?

First Thoughts: tossing and turnings of the mind

The first thought:

Oh, should this be an important missive or a silly creative flaunting of the ability of a fading mind? Shall it be silly, different, maybe coy?
I have many questions of myself...why do I do this, why does anyone do this?
Are we egotists who can never get anyone to listen?
Is this a way of yelling out in the darkness? I want to think I may have something to offer, something to startle someone, something to make an interesting question come up on the screen of the mind. What I have writen here is a floundering of thoughts, in the wandering mind it is so typical!
The first thoughts are like a first cast of the season: Here fishy fishy! Then, please fishy fishy...come to me!
Wandering thoughts will collect and come flying out ...soon, or Maybe NOT!
