She loved her yellow jacket.
Others were shocked to see her select something so bright, so dazzling. She dressed in dark and dull colours: black, brown, navy, gray. Yellow was so wrong; so out of character.
Or so they thought.
Dull was her past. Its Spring. Time for renewal. Time for rebirth. Time to shed the old labels. This new woman will wear yellow. Like a peacock, she will display bright, vibrant colours: emerald, orange, fusia, magenta and yellow.
The yellow jacket is her rebirth. It marks her emergence from the cocoon of winter. A new brightly coloured butterfly. A confident, positive and vibrant woman ready to shine in the sunshine of Spring and Summer.
She loves her yellow jacket.

Thanks Destiny
This is such an uplifting story Brenda. Love the rebirth and emerging from the cocoon like a butterfly references.
Thanks Sadje. I’m glad you enjoyed it
My pleasure
I think everyone should wear yellow in the spring! Actually these yellow rain jackets are a very common sight where I live 😉
It was actually triggered by memories of an old yellow Berhaus style jacket that I had – I still miss my jacket 🙂
Lovely story, Brenda!
Thank you 😘
Brilliant and uplifting. Thank you Brenda. Spring is a time for rebirth and transformation. I love how you translated those themes to the jacket. Well done!
Thanks Suzette. Glad you liked it
Hii
Some how it reminded me of the movie IT. he he. Well put post. 😀 It’s poetic.
I mean the yellow jacket.
Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering 🙃
He he. 😛
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Yellow and sunshine. Little Miss Sunshine the film. Saw it an age ago. Now I want to watch it again! Great story this one of yours. Statement of a change in life’s intent by simply wearing a jacket with specific colour choice. It lets the reader’s imagination go off into other areas too. All the best.
Thanks Gray.
Fantastic Brenda ❤️
Thank you 😊
An amazing explanation, Brenda!👏👏
New beginnings fills my heart and imagination with new excitement.
It’s interesting to approach ‘new things’ and ‘approach things in a new way’, to measure progress, outline a framework, within a direction.
A remember watching Greta Thunberg in similar jacket.
Actually, this blog post is a good description of above picture. And I felt for a moment that ‘Brenda have entered into the fiction writing’.
It is actually truth, but yes, I’m practicing creative writing. I’m glad that came through
You’re welcome Anita
