Daily life is like tiling a bathroom wall
It goes better when you plan ahead
It will probably get messed up if you stumble blindly through it
Each new tile is like an hour in your day
Think ahead before you use it
Take care to make it fit well with the one before
Then the following one will go smoothly
Pause at the end of each day to look back
Be proud of the tiles put up in your life
Cherish the moments that went well
Let that tile on the wall be symbol of your efforts
Serving as a memory of how well you spent that hour
If you messed up be honest with yourself
Buy some more tiles and start over
The more tiles you lay the better you will be at tiling
When you have finished tiling your bathroom wall
It does not mean your time is up
There will be more hours in the day tomorrow
And more challenges to fill your time
It does not matter if you cannot lay tiles
Everybody is talented at something
You might be a fine cook or a fabulous artist
Perhaps an athlete or a great storyteller
Or just a really nice kind person
Who helps others tile their life wall
