Battered . . .

. . . but still hanging in there.

Like many of us. Our bodies, hearts and even our minds might be battered but we persevere.

Some of us have scars that can be seen and others the scars are invisible but we all have some.

Some of us have more scars than others and deeper and more serious scars. But we all have them.

Kent showed me the picture of a quilted wall hanging that I thought was a great representation of us all (see extra)

We all have that piece that fell apart or fell out at some point in our lives but we somehow have managed to hold on and make things work and I think make things better than the original!
