Distinctly Different
I decided not to paint the Castle's alcove off the Bathroom pink and keep it "as is." This patio will be distinctly different from the rest of the Castle and I have special plans for it.
Even though I have enough pink paint to paint the entire Castle pink, I have decided to keep the beige bricks "as is" so they are more noticeable. It is also easier this way because I am still unable to match their original color after three trips to the craft store. I am learning in some cases in life, it is easier to try something completely new.
I did find a similar blue tone for the Castle's roof on sale for only $1.00. As I began painting it, I realized how nicely the paint filled in the many cracks in the shingles and covered the dirt I had been unable to clean. As an added bonus, those shingles with chips seemingly disappeared when sealed by the paint.
I was reminded of the roof serving as a covering for this home to protect it from the weather. So it is the same with those who support us through our battles with cancer, sheltering us from additional distress and pain.
