Going Green (Before it was Cool)

Okay, so it was a corny title... but my favorite color is green and I was just thinkin' on how much I really like the color green. And there are so many reasons... (okay, bear with me, cause this might get kinda silly!) Green is:

• The color of my birthstone (emerald)
• The color of my car (haha... also Emerald -- his name... I'll blog about that some other time)
  
• The color of God's creation -- plants, trees, flowers, its all green... in fact when we don't see green around us in our environments we consider it unhealthy. Did you ever notice the ability of a single green sprout to give us hope after a long winter? Don't you feel yourself come alive with the baby green of the first budding leaves in the spring, and fade into doldrums with the banishment of them in the fall... only to be renewed by the stark contrast of evergreens against a backdrop of drab brown, or brilliant white?
  
• A generally versatile color... I mean, seriously, what color doesn't it go with?? And don't even try to tell me that there exists such a color... I have already experimented... there isn't!
  
• Who doesn't green look good on? Pretty much anyone can find some shade of green that looks amazing on them.
• The only color that you will find used universally for any celebration... (greenery on the wedding flowers, spring green for Easter, Christmas red and green, Thanksgiving olive green, etc.)
• Denotes all systems "go" --green traffic lights, green chat indicators...
• Because of the mix of cool and warm colors... green is a very calm (cool), yet vibrantly alive (warm) color.

Oh, trust me I could go on... but that is really besides the point. And then, you ask: what exactly was the point? And for the first time in several posts... hmmm... I don't know if there was one!
Wow, that was freeing though!
Except of course... that this whole "going green" thing... yeah, I so already was on top of that one!!
