PURPLE

Have you ever thought about the color purple? It's an amazing color. Purple is found in every season and holiday. Most people look really good in the color purple. Many plants and flowers are purple. Purple is the color worn by royalty. The clergy of the Catholic church wear the color purple during the Easter season.

When shopping, the color purple draws me the most. I will buy something purple over something red.

There are many shades of purple.

One of my co-workers loves purple so much she will only use a purple pen. The color she wears most often is the color purple.

I own all kinds of things in the color purple. My lunch bag is purple; I have a purple notepad; I have purple files for my creative writing. I even have purple eye shadow. I own purple tops and purple skirts.

Yesterday I was looking at a fund raiser catalogue from one of my co-workers and I found dark purple tulip bulbs. Very nice.

They reminded me of the purple bearded irises that grew in our back-yard in Indiana.
In the spring, Victor and I will go shopping at The Green Thumb to replace some of the flowers in the yard. His favorite flower is the pansy. I find that I will hum the primary song while shopping with him:

Little Purple Pansies

Little purple pansies, touched with yellow gold,
Growing in one corner of the garden old;
we are very tiny but must try, try, try
Just one spot to gladden, you and I.

In whatever corner we may chance to grow,
Whether cold or warm the wind may ever blow,
Dark the day or sunny, we must try, try, try
Just one spot to gladden, you and I.
Purple must be in the air. When I got home I logged onto my computer and something captured my attention: CELEBRATING PURPLE

So, last night after messing around in purpleville, Victor and I went to dinner with the Martins and I wore purple (closer to lavender). I wore my purple eyeshadow; my purple earrings and necklace and my purple Indian style blouse.

Our friends the McClures happened to be eating at the same restaurant. Sister McClure was so taken by my purpleness, she said: "Rebecca, purple looks really good on you!"

So, Start wearing purple...
