Spot on! There was an exception at Mass yesterday. A woman in the “elder” status who sits in front of me most Sundays arrived in an orange coat and a beautiful smile. I’m tired of black, gray and brown she said as we left church. Today your essay arrived in my email, maybe tomorrow a bright blue jacket will show up on my walk. A trend bringing color and smiles just may bring change and hope for the future. I’ll keep watching.

Very true. Boy can I attest to this at the paint department where I work here in South Texas. I end up telling many customers to go listen to The Monkees 1967 classic Shades of Gray, before they commit to painting the whole interior of their abode SW Alabaster or PPG Mushroom Cap.
