I have always felt like Martha got a bum rap. The worker bees of the world many times work alone and unappreciated making things nice for others. Then they get rebuked.
The one thing I have often noticed is the they often have a hard time just being present as opposed to doing. It is a tough balance for anyone focused on making things nice for others as they often do not get much in the way of assistance unless they are wonderfully assertive and run a tight ship :-)
