I try to always give 100% in all I do, often 150% or more. I'm not tooting my own horn, it's just how I was raised. But with one aspect of life lately, the results have not matched the efforts, which has been causing me tremendous frustration and concern. I keep trying new ways and and new approaches but the results keep coming up short.
I try not to be down and out about the little(ish) things in life especially when so many big things in life are really good right now, but somedays I can't help it . I think this makes me human, right?
But whenever I'm worried about how things will work out, I look to my favorite little figurine given to me by a friend who knew me since I was in diapers. Take a look...
H-O-P-E
What a great little word!
Four little letters that help me to keep a postive outlook and help me to keep focused on brighter days. When I recieved this gift it was during a major heartbreak Denny and I experienced last year. We kept Hoping things would get better and it did. Now we are 20 weeks away from meeting a little pink bundle of joy aka proof that Hope turns to good things.
With this situation I'm experiencing I know it will all work out because it always does. If life's all about learning and growing, maybe this bumpy road I'm on is a journey to make me a better person. But at the end of the day (or sometimes, the middle of the day), I glance at this little Hope figurine on my desk and I'm reminded that it's best to think of sun even when stuck in a rainstorm with a broken umbrella.
So, here's to Hope and good thoughts! And I hope that each have your little piece of Hope that you can think of when life get you down.
