What’s broken.
Can oft times.
Be mended.
To a strength it would never have known.
Had it never been broken.
Our strength is often found in our healing.
Healed, with scars, is beautiful.

Healing is hard work and the scars, while always are a reminder, show that we made it. We can now embrace life and really live. Great blog. Did you find your award? If not look at my Sunday postings. Hugs, Barbara

The WP “like” seems to be wonky as of late. I’ve seen posts that say “you and two others” like this post but there are over 20 gravatars there.
And thank you for loving this. 🙂

Hi Tric. I think it is relate-able …. there aren’t many of us walking about without scars. My worst scars are not seen. So I’m sure there are others. Thank you.

Colleen, I can’t really agree with you that healed scars is beautiful … healed scars can be hard to live it for some of us, they don’t always makes us stronger – and some scars even if healed can be so rough to touch. I hope you understand what I mean???

Viveka I do understand where you are coming from. Of course there is absolutely nothing I can ever say or write that will come across exactly the same to every person who reads it. And I always appreciate your honesty. It’s the best thing I can hope for. That we share thoughts and ideas, and discuss them. It broadens our thoughts. 🙂 Thank you my friend.

Colleen, I am so happy and thankful for the bond we two have – that we free spirits … and that we respect each other’s thoughts and words.
Of course you can only write from where you are and we all feel differently about issues, problems and points of views. .
