I live on a cul-de-sac. Two of the homes are getting new roofs today. My roof replacement is scheduled for this month. A lot of homes in my area have already had new roofs. All of this is a result of a spring hail storm. You don’t think about getting a roof replaced untl you need your roof replaced. That’s a lot like life. We don’t think about our health until something happens. When it does we do all we can to get back to a healthy state. Like our roof, we often take our health for granted. It’s the same way with relationships. We may take our relationship with the most important people in our lives for granted. When we lose one of these people it strikes to our core because they can’t be replaced like a roof. Don’t take the important things in your life for granted. They are gifts. Work at staying healthy. Work at letting those close to you know you love them. You’ll never regret doing so.

Today’s Thought: A Handshake and Trust
I had a true old-fashioned Texas experience yesterday. I had my roof inspected for hail damage. The roofer and I had a lengthy talk about what had to be done, how it would be done, the estimated cost, and the process of submitting a claim to my insurance company. We agreed if the insurance company approves the claim the roofer will take care of the repairs. We shook hands. My handshake meant I won’t run around seeking to find someone else who will do the work cheaper. I trust the roofer to do the job correctly (I did do my research before he visited). I know he trusted me to follow through on my promise to use his company. That’s old school, a handshake and the trust that goes with it. It would be nice if more of it happened.
