“May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human enough hope to make you happy.” ~ author unknown |
"Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope."
~ Hal Lindsey |

Sounds right to me!

Bumping up for those who feel hopeless today. Hugs for the room. :grouphug:

Bumping for the same reason. :grouphug:
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all. ---Emily Dickinson Sometimes we know hope as much by its absence as by its presence. When we're depressed, hope seems almost unknowable, a total illusion. We feel inwardly flattened, unable to move, or as if we are just going through the motions. The song of hope of which the poet speaks is muted. Yet the will of the spirit, as well as of the body, is for life, even for zestful life. Then something happens - a friend calls and we mobilize ourselves, making an effort to be useful, to ourselves or to someone else. The energy quickens. At least the moment has some meaning again and that persistent note of hope, without which we cannot live, starts thrumming in our minds once more. Sometimes, all I can hope for is that I'll feel more hopeful tomorrow. *********** Healing After Loss by Martha Whitmore Hickman __________________ |
