Repair

It has begun.  Leaves are fluttering down to the ground, and blossoms are dying off.  The vibrant summer colours are slowly being replaced by dull browns and grays.

We pass this bench almost every day. This morning I noticed that the backboard is in need of repair.

I decided to take a closer look.  This is what I saw...

My own back is in need of some repair, and while I know I am slowly healing, sometimes I get a little discouraged. 

At times, the pain pierces right through my happy day.

I remind myself that repair takes time and work, and that repair is a hopeful act. 

I am not alone,

and there is fun wherever I decide to find it.

Lily is pretty good at reminding me about having fun!

Be well and have some fun today!
