I woke up with a painful back this morning. This was not unusual, since my back has given me problems for years, but today no 36 or moving would loosen it up. Still, l had five dogs waiting 37 by the door to go out for their morning walk as usual, so I slowly bent down and started to pull my 38 on. When I did, though, I saw that my shoes, like my body, were showing 39 of wear. From the split in one shoe, I knew that it wouldn?t be too long before I had to 40 this pair. I only wished I could replace my back along with them. Later, after 41 the dogs, watching the sunrise and eating breakfast, I was feeling a lot 42 inside. My back pain had 43 too, and my smile had returned. It was then 44 I remembered a letter a friend had sent me recently. Inside, she had pasted a 45 picture of an old, worn-out pair of work boots, sitting on the ground. Their leather was 46 and their laces were worn, but they still looked 47 , because inside, someone had planted a beautiful bunch of 48 . The flowers had grown tall and strong, in spite of their curious container. This picture reminded me again that 49 my body might have felt like a worn-out pair of shoes at times, inside it was a 50 that continued to grow every day in love, peace and happiness.

One day the loving spirit within you will have to 54 out of its worn-out pair of shoes and walk on 55 them. May it bless everyone it meets along the way, heading for its Heavenly Home. 36.
