			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pile of magnetic words originated from two collections:  Art &amp; Literature.  I knew eventually I would draw a color.   Today, the word of the day is <strong><em>blue</em></strong>. Two thoughts come to my pre-caffeinated mind:  &#8220;Robin Egg&#8217;s Blue&#8221; and &#8220;Cerulean&#8221;.</p>
<p>Several months back, I was suffering from a severe case of writer&#8217;s block.  When The Boy asked why I hadn&#8217;t written in weeks, I told him I couldn&#8217;t think of a thing to say.  He suggested I baby step back into writing and describe my morning walk.  The sky that day was a beautiful Robin Egg Blue.  I baby stepped into writing again after that.</p>
<p>And Cerulean.  I love the way the word rolls off my tongue when I say it.</p>
<p>I had wondered what a simple color would say to me when it came to writing and I immediately knew when the simple blue appeared on my refrigerator door.   Words are another form of art, and getting a reader to see through a writer&#8217;s eyes depends upon descriptive words.  Blue is the parent to a whole rainbow of blues.  It&#8217;s an angel&#8217;s azure eyes, an officer&#8217;s navy uniform, a teenager&#8217;s teal prom dress, and my cotton cornflower nightgown.</p>
