Blue Moments

A friend of mine is feeling depressed today. It's not an every day occurrence, today is just one of those days. This got me thinking about feeling blue.

Blue is my favorite color, but it's not my favorite mood. Yet, if we never have blue moments the yellow moments wouldn't be so yellow. We aren't designed to live in the yellow 24/7. For everything there is a season, or so Ecclesiastes and the song say. If we never knew sorrow, could we truly know joy? Without the "other side of the coin" can we genuinely appreciate the whole coin?

Complicated is an adjective many people claim....I don't think they're really all that complicated. They are simply: contrasting. A light side wouldn't exist without a dark side, right? How would we know which is which? We wouldn't.

Emotions are not black & white, if they were we could never laugh through our tears. Laughter through tears is one of my favorite moments.

I'm encouraging my friend to embrace their blue moment. From blue to yellow requires some green, that's where growth occurs.

It's not even my Inner Hours....I guess "profoundness" can sneak up on a person when they least expect it!
