Having Hope

I've been thinking about this word for awhile now, maybe more in the last few days...hope...it's such a lovely thing.  By definition, it is to 1. wish for something with expectation or its fulfillment (one day I hope to fall in love). 2. to expect and desire (one day I hope I will meet a man who will love me just as I am).

It's the belief that no matter where we are in life, the things that we most want will come to us when we are ready for them.  It's knowing that even in the darkest and loneliest of days that there is still light if we can see through our tears.

For me, right now, it's saying I will put myself out there and hope that something beautiful will come back to me...even if sometimes nothing does.  Choosing to be hopeful is believing in the possibility of something wonderful.  And as Martin Luther King said "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
So whatever it is that you are feeling.  Whatever it is that you want.  Have a little hope that it's coming to you.
