Hope in the Darkest Days

I find hope in the darkest of days.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

Dalai Lama


Hope.  Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Hope as:
to cherish a desire with anticipation <hopes for a promotion>

Hope is what I cling to.

Hope is my life preserver.
When life TRIES to darken, hope lights the way.

I know you’re thinking if you rely on hope, Chris then what you’ve written here before is out the window, because hope shouldn’t be in your lexicon.  If you believe everything happens for a reason and everything that happens is meant to happen, then hope has no reason to be in your field of view.

I can see where you’d believe that.  But another way to view the word, is to find another perspective.  How about seeing it through the prism of Law of Attraction?  Remember what Law of Attraction says?
Our thoughts create our reality.

What reality would you rather live in?
A hopeful one or a disappointing one?

Yes when something you’ve wished for, doesn’t come to pass you can feel let down, but hope can be your float, rising you back up.

Hope.  Knowing that something better is just around the corner.
Hope.  Knowing that you’ve survived this temporary relapse
Hope.  Looking back and seeing that because you’ve survived in the past that you’ll survive in the future.

Without hope, there is NOTHING to cling to.

Hope is positive.
We all need hope.

I believe the words Hope and Faith are interchangeable and as an example:
A close friend of mine was recently given a medical death sentence.  I visited this friend last week and we talked about the experience.  Being full of positive energy I did EVERYTHING I could to leave this person with all the hope I could.  As I left I said I’ll see you soon.  This person understood what I was saying and said:
Positive energy.  It’s all around you.

I smiled.
Hope is what this person can cling to.
Faith is what this person can cling to.
Positive energy is what this person needs.

Hope in the darkest days.
Can you cling to it?

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Chris

Yes he ended the Iraq war. And yes congress has the same insurance that will be available to you.Read More Once the AFA is available you too can potentially have lower health care premiums. Though living in a house that backs up on the main US interstae highway and breathing those fumes day and night for years can't help. However, you haven't told me what the Benghazi coverup was? What SOS Clinton's disgrace was(do you mean she as ill?) So blindly agreeing with "mac" is just disgraceful becasue of his ad hominom comments.

Has Obama ended any wars lately? And, ALL the boys and girls in Congress don't pay the kind ofRead More health insurance premiums that I do at 63.

So I'm not sure what the cover up actually is? Maybe the e-mails that were faked? Funny how that isRead More ok? Such fake outrage for 4 deaths in Benghazi but none for the 4,000 in Iraq. The IRS is an independent entity, not Dem or Republican, Benghazi is a fake FOX news story and Affordable Healthcare has already helped millions. You right wing tea party anti black, anti women, anti hispanic (should we go on?) racists are destroying the Republican party and may not win another national election for a generation.

Owners really need to pick up their dog's waste. It is a major polluter of the Long Island Sound.Read More Whenever your dog drops one and you leave it, think of that fish, lobster, or shellfish you ate from the Sound! Enjoy eating your dog poop bacteria!

I'm so lucky!! For 10 years my dogs have frolicked safely in the back part of Bauer - away from theRead More roads, traffic and homes - closer to the back of the HS. I have never heard any dogs bark or 'yap', never saw a dog run into the gardens and destroy the plots, never saw a dog fight or kids being assaulted and luckily avoided all the poop they are leaving behind although I do dodge the deer pellets. My timing must be stellar to avoid all the bad dogs, their dismal behavior and threats to others. Whew!!

The whole state is tick infested. Luckily, dogs can use a product called Frontline Top Spot or itsRead More cheaper generic equivalent, which completely protects them from ticks and fleas. On the shoreline to Middletown, you should be using it on your dog year round. I once saw a deer tick crawling on SNOW in Madison near the Country School in February. The Lyme vacine is ineffective in most canines and most canines that get Lyme, shake it off in time - unlike humans. Top Spot keeps the ticks off or dead for the humans that pet the dog. Regardless, dogs running on cut grass some distance from woods or taller grass won't encounter many if any ticks. Especially if the outer perimeter of the fence is treated in spring and fall.
