“When the world says, ‘Give up,’ Hope whispers, ‘Try it one more time.’”

#BlogElul: Hope

Worn down and worried, I nonetheless remain hopeful that 5775 will renew my spirit, my sister's health, and our family's joy in being together.

In the new year, may we once again share laughter, good times, and the safety that comes from unconditional love for each other.

The Power of Hope: A #BlogElul Post

This is the mirror on the back of my bedroom door:

And this is what's printed on one of the many treasured notes and keepsakes that lives on the mirror:

Hope

"Of all the forces that make for a 

better world, none is so powerful as hope.

With hope, one can think, one can work,

one can dream.  If you have hope, 

you have everything."
