Tending a Broken Heart

A broken bone, carefully tended as it fully mends, may end up stronger than if it had never even broken.  

A thoroughly annealed weld may likewise be the strongest part of a repaired work piece. 

But a bone tested too soon, or a carelessly welded repair will be brittle, and vulnerable to fracture again at the same place. 

So with a broken heart.  Take time and care to allow complete healing to occur before exposing it to risk.  When the time is right, a fully healed, resilient heart will be better prepared for the give and take of what comes next.  

Take time.  Take care. What you need will be there when you are ready.
