Purple’s Turn

My 2-year-old daughter was coloring the other day with some dot markers and when she switched to purple, she said, “Purple’s turn.” I thought it was funny because she chose purple, purple didn’t decide to go by itself, but it got me thinking. Sometimes it is purple’s turn. We don’t get to choose everything. Sometimes it pours down rain, or there’s a highly contagious virus pandemic, and it’s time to stay home. Sometimes it’s someone or something else’s turn. But sometimes it’s your turn. Don’t waste your turn.
