Colour of Your Happiness.

On a recent day Recently, I read a book to my son, our as usual, routine before bedtime. He heard a new phrase. Of course, my curious boy wanted to know what it meant. It was "отложить деньги на чёрный день". Literally, it means "to save money for a black day". I think an English equivalent is "a rainy day fund"1 (that is, if I can trust my dictionary). Afterwards my son wished Then he wanted to know, which what colour then is a happy day is.

We all know that 2 Happiness is different for everyone.  It is not the same.  One's happiness is another's sadness. 's definitions and colours are as many as people in the world. What happiness is - everyone knows it in his own way. Maybe it's just an opposite to bad day's colour, I mean, Perhaps white is for happiness3 . It after all, it is a colour of a purity, of an virginal innocence. In Russian, we have a phrase "to start living with a pure sheet of paper" (начать жизнь с чистого листа)4. It means to erase forget all the past mistakes, "cancel" the past and start living the a new life. Or maybe How about a happy day is in green like a the US dollar? 5 :))) Or it is multicolored like a Rainbow colored? 6 Of course you can choose one colour and make it your own as the color of happiness of 7 or mix them 7. Or maybe the happiest day is

The red color can be a good candidate since the red red ike the most beautiful rose or the heart which is a the symbol of love?  This sentence should move to an earlier place, before the sentence, "Of course you can choose on color and..."

Even if we have never thought over about our own colour of happiness, I guess everyone wants to be healthy, loved and respected. And everyone wishes to self-actualise in his own sphere. Though this is not grammatically wrong, it is long winded and would be better expressed as, in a more definitive way.

No matter what color we choose to be the one to represent our day of happiness, everyone wants to be happy, to be loved, to be in health and to be respected.  We strive to be happy in our medium.

Though, which So what colour is do you choose for your happy day?

1.  Another equivalent is "Make hay while the sun shines"

2.  This sounds condescending.  Of course we all know :)

3.  Colors are culturally biased.  White in all East Asian countries denote sadness.  It is a funeral color!  Thus a western wedding to traditonal Chinese is considered a funeral!  Of course, these days this is quite acceptable because of western influence ONLY if the setting is western.  For example, Chinese opt to have a western style wedding at the church all dressed in white in the day, while a bright red for the evening reception since it is the most auspicious color - the color of the sun.

4. In English, it is "to start off with a clean slate".  A slate is what the Romans used to write which can be erased easily like a small blackboard.

5.  This is only valid in the US where its currency is only in green.  In most of other countries, the currency is multi-colored for different denominations.

6.  This one is adopted by the Gay Movement.

7.  You can't mix all the 7 colors.  From science, you know that it becomes white!  So your logic doesn't quite work here even though we mean what you are trying to say. :)

On a recent day I read was reading a book to my son, as usual, before bedtime. He heard a new phrase. Of course, my curious boy wanted to know what it meant. It was "отложить деньги на чёрный день". Literally it means to save money for a "black" day. I think an the English equivalent is "rainy day fund" (if I can trust my dictionary). Afterwards my son wished to know which colour then what the color of a happy day is.

In English, we have an expression "to save money for a rainy day," which means to put aside money for unexpected expenses.

We all know that the definitions and colors of happiness's definitions and colours are as many as there are people in the world. What happiness is everyone knows it in his own way. Maybe it's just an the opposite to of the color of a bad day's colour. If a bad day is black, then a good day is I mean, white. It In the country where I live, white is a the color of a purity, of an innocence.

Colors have different meanings in different cultures. In some cultures, white is associated with death.

In Russian we have a phrase "to start living with a pure sheet of paper" (начать жизнь с чистого листа). It means to forget all the mistakes, to "cancel" the past and start living the a new life.

We have a similar expression: "starting over with a blank slate." A slate board or sheet was written on with chalk. You could erase the chalk and start over again. That's where the English expression comes from.

Or maybe a happy day is green like a dollar? :))) Or it is it multicolored like a rainbow? You can could choose one color of 7 the seven colors of the rainbow or mix them. Or maybe the happiest day is red like the most beautiful rose or the a heart which is a symbol of love?

Even if we have never thought over about our own color of happiness, I guess everyone wants to be healthy, loved and respected. And everyone wishes to self-actualize in his own sphere.

Though So, which what color is your happy day?

What a fun topic to write on! The color of happiness for me is a shimmering, ever changing band of colors. You never said what color you finally settled on.

P.S. Also, because I'm American, I changed your spelling of words like "color" and "self-actualize." It's okay for British English though.
