After the manhole coverwas made level
The driveway for our condo needed some repair before seal-coating this year.
In particular a manhole cover was slanted. This indicates a problem beneath the surface. The sewer guys came and found the structure supporting the manhole cover was crumbling. They took out the crumbled stuff, and replaced it with concrete that will last, and now the cover is level again.
Then the surface guys moved in. The two men had an orderly procedure to follow. I was impressed how well they worked as a team.
We could have just seal-coated and left the man hole cover slanted. The driveway would look good on the surface.

Final touches on repairing
the manhole cover
I appreciated the lesson that when something doesn’t seem quite right, it is important to look beneath the surface to find out what is really going on. In relationships, if something doesn’t seem quite right, it can also be useful to delve beneath the surface.
What helps me a lot is to turn to the one Mind, the creator of the universe, and ask what I need to know to better praise and glorify Him/Her. This honest prayer often reveals underlying issues in a sticky relationship. Once recognized, they can be addressed.
Then progress can resume.
