Moods during a day!

I have a fascination for white flowers and I look for every opportunity to capture them in different light conditions.

The one above taken towards the evening just before sunset and the one below early in the morning before sunrise, covey two different hues of white.

I have more pictures of these two bunches at different times of the day which made me discover that even with adjusting the exposure factor in the camera, to correspond with with light conditions, the hue of the photo would vary!

The flowers too have different 'moods' during the different times of the day conditioned by note sunlight!

 Does that sound strange!

Is it not true of us as well!

While at the consultation yesterday, I realised that mood was swinging according to the state of well being or otherwise of the families who visited us. There were distressing and challenging situations that after each consultation my colleagues and I stayed in solemn silence for a while unable to speak! We were carried away by what we saw and heard!

It is  for this  reason, all those who work in caring profession need regular debriefing times to recover from the exhaustion of 'giving' that goes on during listening and interaction.

It is almost a necessity that such debriefing times are deliberately included for adding to the well being of each person in the caring team!
