We find faith where we can, hope follows and we become stronger, able to withstand far more than we ever thought we could.

reborn

After a winter of white, the first glimpse of green leaves and yellow blooms sings in my soul!  As one of the first flowers of spring, the daffodil is a symbol of hope.

curable

Cancer is the most curable of all chronic diseases.  If that doesn't shine a ray of hope into your soul, then how about this: At least one person has been cured from every type of cancer.  Let's add you to that growing list!

One theme - Hope

This tree stands in my oncologist's office and all are welcome to write on an ornament. My favorite? I knew I would make it!

Some of the other ornaments read:
Hope :0)
I'm still here
Hope Rocks!
Enjoy Life
I'm still ok & hoping
Never give up

mourning doves

Wisconsin (and Michigan) sees the Mourning Dove as their official state symbol of peace. We often have one or two, hanging around our yard. But today, we had about 30 of them. Thirty living symbols of Peace and Hope.  Refreshing!

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there.

hope

Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

the golden hour

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light,
Adorns and cheers our way;
And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a brighter ray.
~ Oliver Goldsmith (1730 - 1774)

Fresh Country Air

Standing in open country with just the breeze in my face makes me feel so small, but also gives me opportunity for plenty of awe, and can stir flickers of hope where there was none.  There's not much better than fresh country air. . .minus cow poop aroma, obviously.
