Hope is what keeps us going on day to day. Hope tomorrow will be sunny. Hope tomorrow will bring you that check in the mail. Hope tomorrow that phone call you have been waiting for comes. Hope the man you have been seeing likes you as much as you like him.
We keep hoping and we keep trying. That is what fuels us to move forward. That possibility that what we are hoping for is right around the corner. We just need to be patient for one more day.
The early years of my marriage, my husband would tell me all the time, " something great is going to happen very soon". We had very little, a ramshackle house and 3 children and he seemed to have a line to God, so I had faith that he "knew" something. Years went by, he continued to say this but never did we see this wondrous surprise. After time this declaration began to make a knot form in the pit of my stomach. But I now realize my husband, God love him, is a dreamer, a talker more then an actual doer.
Hope is sort of like gambling. If you don't win sometime then you lose hope. But with hope you have to have faith. Faith that what you are hoping for will happen. No matter what it is. Faith is what keeps you hoping even if what you are hoping for never happens. Or keeps you pushing that new idea, or project, or web site, or art work, or whatever over and over again until you find someone that will agree with your dream.
I realize now that in the early years of my marriage, we didn't have much, but at the same time we had so much. We had love, we had happiness, we had fun, we had each other. Whenever we were in need of anything whether it was food, diapers or money for gas... it happened somehow. Great things did happen... they were just in small every day packages that I did not see them for what they were.

Things will go your way
If you'll hold on for one more day
Things will go your way" Timothy Anietie
