A COLOUR FILLED LIFE

Young people seem to have the knack of dressing according to how they want to express themselves. Those of us who are a little older tend to be more conservative - at times!

So it was with some fascination as well as admiration when I met Anne the other day at my local shopping centre.  I was sitting some distance from her and while I sipped my favourite lemon and ginger tea, I couldn't quite take my eyes away from her.   Her face just sparkles with fun.

Finishing my tea, I went across and introduced myself to Anne, and asked if I could please take a photograph of her.  Her use of colours, reflected and repeated in her hair as well as shoes, caught my fancy.

Anne laughingly said she wished she'd put on some of her bling that morning, but I thought she had captured her own "statement" of who she is quite well, and she is telling the world she KNOWS who she is.

We all need the courage to be as distinctive as we would like to be, yet sometimes we hold back.

'til next time
