you arrived after dark.
Come join in for some
time to relax.
Let me get you a cup of coffee, it
won't take long, I'll be quick!
There!
Today I wanted to decorate in the color purple. It has become one
of my very favorite colors. Nearly 90% of the flowers I bought this
year are purple and pink. So pretty and calming, both colors together.
If you are interested, below I have detailed the meaning(s) of
this wonderful color ... I found it to be very interesting.
Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.
The color purple is a rare occurring color in nature and as a result is often seen as having sacred meaning. Lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are considered delicate and precious.
The color purple has a variety of effects on the mind and body, including uplifting spirits, calming the mind and nerves, enhancing the sacred, creating feelings of spirituality, increasing nurturing tendencies and sensitivity, and encouraging imagination and creativity.
Purple is associated spirituality, the sacred, higher self, passion, third eye, fulfillment, and vitality. Purple helps align oneself with the whole of the universe. Different shades, tints, and hues of purple have different meanings. Light purple hues represent feminine energy and delicacy, as well as romantic and nostalgic feelings. Dark purple hues evoke feelings of gloom, sadness, and frustration. Bright purple hues suggest riches and royalty.
Light purple or lavender is a feminine, graceful, elegant color that has long been associated with refined, wealthy women. While the color purple represents royalty, lavender represents beauty and femininity. Lavender is considered to be the “grown-up” pink. Its lighter lavender shades have a sacred place in nature, with lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers considered delicate and precious. The color lavender suggests uniqueness and special-ness without the deep mystery of the color purple.
Too much purple brings out qualities of irritability, impatience, and arrogance. Too little purple brings out feelings of powerlessness, negativity, and apathy.
Because the purple color is created by combining a strong warm with a strong cool color, the color retains both warm and cool properties. On one hand, the color purple can boost imagination and creativity, on the other, too much purple can cause moodiness.
Throughout history, purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank. Many believe this to be true because the rare occurrence of purple in nature made it one of the most expensive color dyes to create. The United States Military awards the Purple Heart to soldiers wounded in battle. In Thailand, purple is the color of mourning for widows.
Purple or violet gemstones are believed to increase your imagination, remove perceived spiritual obstacles, calm confrontations, and re-energize the learning of new things.
*~~~ Today I have included six photos
of flowers dressed in purple. ~~~*
Flowers are those little colorful beacons of the sun from
which we get sunshine when dark, somber
skies blanket our thoughts.
Farming is no easy task. Oh how I remember my Dad coming in for
"supper" as we called it reeking of smells that were
most unpleasant and always sweat of hard honest work.
Such a pretty one indeed
Photos
They are indeed priceless.
These are just way to pretty to eat ever!
Is there anyone in this world who does not like M & M's?

Some of you ask: "dispatcher for what?"
I reply: "fire, EMS and our county Sheriff."
My husband and I now take part in the volunteer program
called 'Community Watch.' We are seen, and we observe,
and report any crime, assist with traffic control, will
do lock-outs and participate in many community festivals
and activities. It is our way of helping to keep the community safe.
Almost Friday folks, the weekend is in sight.
I hope you enjoyed all the purple today.
Enjoy this day - I hope it holds nothing but good for you.
Now, till another time, be safe in
all you do. Be aware of everything and
everyone around you at all times. A
very good habit .... take care!
Thank you Mom - and Dad up there.
