Funny how orange, which I once associated with the MS prison I felt locked up in, now has a different connotation. I see the color as one of power, strength, resilience, solidarity.

		<description><![CDATA[Nick and I have a long-running debate in our house. It&#8217;s part of the oil-and-water, fire-and-ice dynamic we&#8217;ve functioned on for years. His sunny-side-up brand of optimism strikes me as Pollyanna-ish and naive. My glass-half-empty, pessimistic realistic approach to life grates on him. But I might be close to winning this argument. Hear me out.
