HOPE...MY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY...

"Spring drew on...

and a greenness grew over

 those brown garden beds,

 which, freshening daily,

 suggested the thought 

that hope traversed them at night,

 and left each morning 

brighter traces

 of her steps."

Charlotte Bronte

Hope does have a way of showing up,

 whether it presents itself

 in the form of human kindness,

 in solutions achieved,

 or just in the fact that

 once again 

the sun in shining.

If we don't have

 hope in our lives

 there is only room 

for dark emotions.

Sometimes we can add

 all of life's challenges up

 and the sum of those 

can equal a 

lack of hope...

...and sometimes

 we can focus on renewal and healing

 and hope creeps back in

 bit by bit.

Finding hope

 can sometimes be a hard task,

 but it is really never far

 from your doorstep...

...you just

 have 

to 

let

 it

 in.

...Judy...
