Letting Hope move in

The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.  Barbara Kingsolver

Hope.  The word holds promise, anticipation, expectations, confidence.  What do you Hope for?  Have you figured it out?  Life lacks sparkle when we have no Hope.  We all Hope.  It's impossible for us not too but sometimes the Hope scares us so we try to deny we have any.  But it's there.  Skating around the edges of your heart and breathing life that you need into your soul.  It's the denial of its existence that causes us to live outside of it.  Don't do that.  Allow it to infuse you, allow it to whisper to you.   Let it live in you and you in it.  Too often we look at Hope as something for others, unattainable, inaccessible so we stay far away from it.  It's like the house in our own neighborhood that we drive by everyday and admire but think we can't or don't deserve to live in it.  Not true.  We can live in Hope, we should live in Hope.  We should let it move into us and give our lives the sparkle they need.

And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
