Week 8: What is Hope

Hope is the bridge between today and tomorrow 

Week 8:  What is Hope

We can always find hope in the dawn of a new day, bearing witness to the sunrise or the sweet smell of breakfast can deliver hope. It arrives slowly like the dawn, providing a tether to reach for when the day spins forward and we get stuck in traffic and frustration builds. We look back to the calm of the morning and reset our thoughts. 

Loss has a way of derailing us from hope, without a belief in hope, what is there to reach for. What can I hope for in the depths of grief, when loss has taken hold of my future.  For a long time, I struggled with hope, no longer trusting the word. But whether we find hope or sit in despair, see the good or wallow in anger, life moves forward.

Hope became a choice that I discovered with the passing of time, slowly learning to appreciate all we had, and recognizing the beauty of new beginnings. Hope speaks softly, but if you listen closely, you will uncover something to be hopeful for.
