I received a gift today from a friend I was at college with……… ????? years ago. Bless her, a lovely surprise a handknitted scarf in purple hues. I had a phase in my life where most of my wardrobe was purple!! I have a photo somewhere of yours truly at a restaurant in purple top, skirt, ( I loved that skirt, ra ra style and short ) shoes etc.. However one time when I helped a friend with a hair show that was choreographed for charity and put on by our hairdresser at the time, I partook of hair colour or multiple colours and when I went home it just clashed with the purple wardrobe.
Strange that now I have one pashmina scarf in lilac and that is it until the friends gift arrived today!! I somehow think he phase in my life when I was head to toe in hues of lilac purple etc should stay in the past until I embrace the famous poem, when I am old I shall wear purple. I still love the colour but these days my favourite is white. My fortieth birthday theme was ALL white. White kind of symbolizes new beginnings and is a very cleansing ‘colour’.
I will close this with a thought for the day on friendship courtesy of a very dear friend of mine as she sent me a desk calender with quotes regarding friendship. I value friends very much indeed and profoundly so this has been highlighted to me during the last 2 weeks.
We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend
