True Colors

I made this scarf out of recycled UF t-shirts that belonged to my Mother-in-law and one of my own.  I was thinking as I made it that orange and blue are my true colors.  When I was a student at UF in the mid 80's , the student body had a tradition of singing as we left the stadium on game day, " it's great to be a Florida Gator!"  We college students had joy that was not dependent on a game score or bank account, a truly beautiful thing!  And so I really hope those are my true, truest colors- joy and thanksgiving!   Cause it's just great to be, period!  May you wear this season of gratitude and find its just your color!  Jessica Pearl
