White-for before marriage (well…not so much.
But ok!)
Red –for the years of childrearing and
establishing a career (all the way fiery red for me bossy-dynamic-in charge-demanding!)
Black- (for when the kids are grown and we
are done with careers and we are getting
prepared to die I guess?)
That being
said, the talk show suggested that there is another color in there for women.
The color of the 40’s and 50’s for those of us who had kids earlier on. And that
color is PEACH.
And I am
super super excited to be a peach. It put it all into a peachy perspective for
me actually.
Peach is the
time in our lives where we have a moment to think-to be creative-to devote more
times to the career we love vs just bringing in the money-time to volunteer perhaps-explore
hobbies-discover the landscape of our lives?
Peach is
really our only time to get it right really.
Peach is
between red and white –a mix of both colors. We are in innocent in the sense we
are not dead yet I guess? We still need to be fiery and productive as we are
still raising kids but maybe we do not have to clean up their puke as often. And
if we are we are not hearing their crying, but listening to our in-pods while
mopping maybe?
We have more
time as our kids get older-but less brain space. More worry and less fuss. More
time for ourselves and less time to really sleep. PEACH is a whole world within itself.
I can’t wait
to be peach but paradoxically PEACV is a damn scary place to be. Who will I be
when I am not red? Will I be lovely and shy? I doubt it! But I can feel myself
softening as I get older (both literally and in the philosophical sense)
I am fuzzier
and nicer. Much more forgiving.
I have a feeling
that PEACH is going to be a nice decade for me (when I get to be peach that is)
I really don’t
want to go from red to black. I am so not ready to be dead yet. I am actually feeling
very white too lately-so black is just so not me (I never did like Goth as a
style)
Right now I would
say I am transitioning to a bright coral. Peach is at least 5 yrs. away.
But I am
excited. Especially in the career sense for PEACH. The way I am doing my career
this year is nothing like before-I am already turning into a peach.
And I expect
to get peachier and peachier and nicer and nicer.
I like
uncovering these things
And glad that
now I have a word that symbolized what runs through my crazy brain.
PEACH. Love
it.
