£10 and flyer

You check your jeans before you shove 'em in the wash & discover two pieces of crumpled-up paper. One is a flyer, the other a £10 note. One you'll keep & one you'll throw away. Why? After all they're both crumpled up pieces of paper right? Wrong! One makes you think 'Bin it!'
because its just a manky bit of paper that you don't need any more. The other makes you smile & think 'Nice one!' because you'd forgotten all about that tenner. One of them is valuable to you.
When things go wrong, & they sometimes do, we can begin to feel like that flyer we found crushed in our jeans pocket. It started out OK; colourful, shiny, useful, but then it got pushed & pulled in every direction, the info on it wasn't as clear as it used to be & it looked dull & boring. It became a lost cause. When things go wrong, & they sometimes will; you need to think of yourself like that tenner you found crumpled up in the pocket of your jeans, not the tatty flyer. Even if it had gone through the whole wash cycle it would never lose its worth, never lose its value.
You may feel battered, broken, bruised, useless!
But you will always remind priceless to me ..
