Is Going "Green" Still a Thing?


Is Going “Green” Still a Thing?

 

I’m not talking ecologically-although I try to buy green and do the “3 R’s” as much as I am able.

 

What I’m talking about is the actual idea of wearing green.  This week was St. Patrick’s Day and according to tradition we are supposed to “wear green or be pinched”.  I don’t know about you, but I really hated this as a kid.

 

I have olive toned skin which has a lot of yellow in it.  When I wear anything green I look sickly.  Someone once asked my mom if she had had me checked for hepatitis!  I kid you not.

 

Green is NOT in my wardrobe.  But now as an adult, I dare someone to try and pinch me. 

Tuesday I expected to be the only one in Tai Chi not wearing a drop of the Irish green in class.  But guess what?!  Out of the 18 of us there-only one person wore anything with green!  After class I went across to Fry’s to get some grapes and blueberries that were on sale-honest to Pete, I didn’t see anyone in the entire produce section look as if they were worried about not hanging on to this particular tradition either!

 

Is it just in our little rural town or is this happening everywhere? 

Just in case you’re all wondering, I really did try to at least put something on that had maybe a little trim of the color.  I took out an Ed Hardy tank top with roses on it figuring that it would have a leaf or two-nope.  I had pink, red, yellow and blue outlined in black, but there wasn’t even a dot of green to be seen.

 

This is more than okay by me-just having the few yellow roses on my top was enough to make me wonder if anyone was wondering if they should “back away from the sick woman”. 

 

This is a rather silly post but sometimes I just wonder about the little things.
