HOLDING ON TO HOPE

Hope seems to hide in the shadows some days but when pursued and sought after it bursts into view and fills the heart.   Gratitude exposes hope, remembering feats accomplished reinforces hope, recognizing the resources available in this moment reveals hope, and reaching out to others to embrace and comfort, as well as, be embraced and comforted provides strength to hope. 

Today I will acknowledge the moments of discouragement when they appear and then encourage my heart with grateful recognition of the compassion and loving kindness I have experienced from others.  I will remember I am not alone and never will be.   I will reach out to share what I have to offer to those I encounter.   If I take time to notice I will see the many opportunities to receive and spread hope surrounding me today.
