About three years ago I was shopping at a Salvation Army when I ran into my old childhood friend Marni.

She was working there part time for some extra cash.

It had been years since we had talked, and there I was with my husband and my kids, and it was nice to get ahold of her again.

She was still with her parents, her phone number still the same as when we were kids.

So I'm browsing the racks, finding skirts and shirts that I like, and I happen to pull out this yellow top.

I tried it on and then put it back on the rack with the other stuff I wasn't getting.

I turned to Marni who was organizing the clothes and said, "You know, yellow doesn't mesh with me well, I can never find a yellow shirt I look good in."

She turns to me and says, "I don't think it's that you don't suit yellow, I just don't think you've found the right yellow shirt."

The right yellow shirt? Could there be such a thing!?

I left pondering the question, it had a lot more meaning for me than just the yellow shirt thing, what about other things I didn't like? Maybe it wasn't that I didn't like those things, but that I hadn't found the right kinds of those things to learn to like them.

I guess the same could be said about people too, some people will say they don't like people for a variety of reasons, they're jerks, or lazy, or they're not your physical type . . . a lot of people have an ideal image of their perfect man and often times they end up with someone else. Maybe we need to realize that just because we don't like every jerk in the world, doesn't mean that there isn't the "right kind of jerk" for us.

Funny philosophy to say the least, and ever since she said that I have this weird thing about the yellow section at Value Village . . . like for some reason I'm always searching for the right yellow shirt!

Took me awhile, but last night I finally found it.

It's canary yellow, v-neck, and thick cotton, it's very very comfortable.

So I guess she was right after all, yellow does mesh very well with me, I just had to find the "right" yellow shirt.

Namaste,

Rhiannon
