Fresh Coat

Sometimes you need to retool in life and start anew. There is no shame in that.

If life were a graph measured only in time you'd see a straight line running through the middle of the grid. But life's experiences move in random ways with some of the points on the page in the black, and others in the red. The plotted line winds along an unpredictable course.

Fortunately, we can count on friends and family to help steer us back on path when we do move off center. This week we had a host of friends and family pitch in to lend a hand to makeover our daughter's room. Off recuperating from a minor setback, everyone wanted to welcome her home to a new beginning.

Thank you for hard work Mimi, Mum, Lori, Kim, Marie, Joel, Bob, Cathy, Noelle, Dan, Jen, Geoff, Joe, Cheryl, James, John and Keyla. Many others contributed thoughts and prayers throughout the week; we heard them all. Thank you God for sending so much love our way.
