How much is too much?

Loaded question, and the answer will come down to how we define that term, what it pertains to, and is it worth it?
In making tangible purchases in looking at the cost, we look at the value, the quality, and how much we feel connected to that item, then it comes down to a number of final questions to seal or not seal the deal
Is it worth the price?
Do I really need it?
Can I afford it?

Then there are moments that we are swept off our feet by a salesperson who see that look in our eyes and they reel in the catch - you or me!
We then arrive home thinking and many times saying"what did I just do?" In some cases we return the item if we can!

However, there is something else we usually ask the question "how much is too much?" and in relationships that question does come to play. Taking too much verbal abuse? giving but not getting? doing but not being appreciated? It comes down to what we're dealing with, and everyone has their own limit or tolerance and then it is time to say - no, this is too much and I am done.

Making decisions like that isn't easy at all, and usually it happens when we are pushed to the edge, our absolute breaking point. Parents are the ones who are pushed more than not to their breaking point, but the love of a mother is incredible and though she is tired, it is never too much.

Do you find yourself at a place whereby life, joy, and peace are feelings you remember and don't experience now? Your life is full of worry and weariness? then maybe it has gotten to the dreaded place of too much and enough is enough!
