Yellow

Six-Word Photo Story Challenge

Yellow Sun, Yellow Tree, Yellow Me.

I’ve tried my best always to remain grateful no matter what was going on in my life. But full disclosure, it has not been easy to see the bright side of a divorce. And then, out of nowhere (as Dennett said it would happen), I noticed I was healing and had been for quite some time now. I am beginning to find beauty everywhere I go again. It follows me — like the Universe is saying, ‘I support you and what you’re trying to do here.’

“Look at the stars

Look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along

I wrote a song for you

And all the things you do

And it was called Yellow.”

— Yellow by Coldplay
