Recovery and renovation have a lot to do with each other. They have a lot of parallels and I can see the similarities. We're restoring ourselves back to a former, better state. It talks about a former better state. I like this part too. The second one says to restore to life, vigor or activity, revive. Love it. And that's how I feel about recovery.
