Thank you. It's a color I always liked. My favorite court outfit was a purple and teal plaid suit with a purple blouse and shoes.

Reading your comment I just has a thought - Have you never noticed how sometimes when we have the least to give the most is demanded of us?

    I agree..

When my husband was terminally ill his doctor sat me down and insisted I take medication I had been avoiding due to side effects. I don't remember the exact words but he said that my husband was going need me to take care of him and things and I could not do that if I continued to wear myself out. I listened for once. Interesting how we will take care of ourselves for our loved ones and not for ourselves. That was a turning point for me. I am still taking car of myself.

Thanks. have always liked purple but some years it is not "the color". I'm sure you know how hard it is to find clothing that is not "the color" of the year.

that is why you have your shed - a place to rest and restore.

Burn out is such a problem for caregivers of all sorts. That is why many professional caregivers go to such excess and extremes to find relief. Although I differ on the how and the highway I agree with you that everyone needs to have the spiritual reservoir refilled regularly in order to care for others. If not you end up with something like my currently dry lake property.
