Is orange really the happiest color??

 
     Frank Sinatra once said that "Orange is the happiest color". I would have to agree with him in some ways, and disagree in others.


Orange is the color of sunsets, of oranges, of falling leaves, of apple cider, of pumpkins, of sooooo many wonderful things....

But, to those with ADHD, COPD, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Lupus, Melanoma, Multiple Sclerosis (like me), RSDS, Self-Injury Awareness, SPD, Spinal Cancer, or Prader-Willi Syndrome... it is a sentence. A sentence to aware others of the battle we are fighting. We wear orange to raise awareness in hopes that more people understand what we are going through. To us, orange is not a very happy color.
 
Orange is who we are. Orange is what we are.
 
 
I ask that if you are a supporter of different illnesses, invisible or not, look into the ribbons or the clothing that people are wearing. Sometimes it is more than just a shirt. Sometimes it has a deep meaning to the person.
 
 
 
 
There are tons of different colors, and ribbons, for those who are fighting illness. You can see more if you click HERE. I ask that you pay attention to those around you, take the time and ask questions if you see a tattoo of a ribbon. Learn about their battle.
 
 
 
Until next time..... Lots of love and understanding.
