Dear Clary Sage,

It's not you. It's me. When I first spotted you amongst the rows of other painted fellows, I fell for you. I thought you were the one. On paper, you appeared to be the perfect shade of sage green, a soft dusty hue that would complement our oriental rug.

But after several years of daily interaction, longing stares, encounters in a dimly lit room, and glimpses over a glass of wine, your true color has revealed itself. Instead of a dusty sage, you are a hideous shade of melted mint chocolate chip ice cream. A blight on my life. An unappealing hue that does not brighten my day.

It was in the cold harsh reality of the morning that I made the tough decision that our relationship must end. I've grown, I'm not the same person as I was when we first met, and I want to take my life in a different direction. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it's over. I'm leaving you for Benjamin Moore's Monroe Bisque.

Please...don't call me.

XOXO,
Wendy

Thanks Jerrilyn! We're much happier with the color too. It was worth the time and effort to make the change.
