It's Not Easy Being Green

I was going to finish the Heaven and Hell story for this week's Theme Thursday post... But I just wasn't feeling it. Actually, I'm just feeling lousy. So I'm going to curl up in bed, pull the covers over my head and hope that the little guy actually lets me sleep tonight.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite Muppets songs...

It's not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or
yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.
It's not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other
ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
or stars in the sky.
But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine,
it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.

I hope you've completely recovered.

I have to say, I LOVE this song. I have no idea why, but can easily envision Kermit the Frog singing this tune.
