Mending

MINDFULLY MENDING MARCH SUGGESTION: mend something small today. 

To mend is to repair something that is broken, or damaged. It can be a picture frame, a tear in a pair of jeans, a broken mug. It can also be a relationship, an argument, a friendship, or the reparations made after harsh words. 

To mend is not always the same as fixing. 

If you think about a broken mug that has been put back together with glue, you can still see the cracks. The mug works fine, and maybe the outside pieces fit together so well that you don't see the seams. And you know you fixed it. And sometimes the cracks and chips are obvious. And you use it anyway because it's your favourite mug. 

Mending yourself is like that. You can't expect to go back to an original state. And you can still heal. You can still go forward. 

Some people have scars on their bodies. And some people have metaphorical scars inside. Either way, wear your scars with pride. They are the map of your life. 

Be kind,

To yourself too
