~:[CH9 - Day 105]:~ Broken But Not Beat

My parents called me to the garage. Our garage door broke. It reminded me that so many things in life have a shelf life. Even humans have a limit to their time here. We never really know when that date will come. Even when we take care of things, they can break in an instant. We're going to face a lot of things that are broken when we return to "normal" but the question is, are we going to allow this to beat us? We're going to have moments where we break down, but can we rise back up? It's true, life will be forever changed, but sometimes when things break, it just means, it's an opportunity for us to build it up better than before. As I pieced together our dinner for the night, I wondered what I was going to make. I didn't want to make the same old thing. I was tired of it, however, in my frustration, I created something new and it wouldn't have happened without all of this. Expect things to be broken and not up to our expectations, but don't get frustrated, rather find a way to make it work, to build it up better so that when our opportunity to comes, we will show that we will not be beaten. It's much easier to say than to do, but I have confidence that we can and we will. Who knows how much longer this will last and how many things will be left broken after all is said and done, but all I know is, I'm excited for all the innovative and creative things that will rise from what once was.
