Brown Day and Brown Crayon

My pen broke, so I'm writing in crayon. This has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of my post, just thought I would share.
This morning I found a Dr. Seuss book I've never read before. Its called "My Many Colored Days." Basically, each day is "colored" by an emotion. No matter what color day it is though, the idea is I am always me.
I really like the story, simple as it is. Spiritually, I have many colored days. Some are gray- I have to force myself to rattle off the Hail Mary's for a decade or two before my mind wanders. On red days I'm on fire with love, I would do anything for Him in a heartbeat. When I feel eternally happy and grateful, like I'm about to burst- that is yellow. Brown days are those when praying is as comfortable and natural as talking to an old friend.
But it really doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having...so long as I continue praying.

Pax Christi!
