Today I'm thinking about hope. What it is, what it means, and most importantly, if I truly possess it. I'd sure like to believe I have it. I have hope. It's almost like a mantra, a ready made answer to lifes difficult questions.
Webster defines it as," to cherish a desire with anticipation". Hmmm. In my own words then, to love and expect. So if I were to say I have hope for the future what I mean is I have a love of life and great expectations. Wow, I like the sound of that and armed with that particular knowledge I'm afraid to say I'm guilty of throwing the phrase around far too often without owning it's true and powerful meaning.
The next time I hear myself saying I hope so, I'll be sure to ask myself,
do you really?
