HOPE

Source: WeHeartIt

And so it begins

The first day of a

new year

The first day we

either face HOPE

or FEAR

No one knows

which the new year

will bring …

We have to roll

with the punches

and …

if at all possible

turn any FEAR

into our own

HOPE

and go on from there

Looking Toward Home

Source: We Heart It

 

After years of traveling

bouncing from here to there

the time had come to find

my way home

 

That was a scary decision

to be settled…

in one place … stable

after years of wandering

 

Returning to your

childhood home can

either be a blessing

or a curse

Especially when that

home is small…

rural…

that place when you

got in trouble at

school the neighborhood

grapevine told your mom

No need for a call from

school letting her know

 

Was I ready ….

no willing to live

there again where

everyone knows

everyone and their

business as well

 

No turning back

the decision made

the move planned

now …

there is only

HOPE

for the future …

Footprints

Source: We Heart It

The empty silence of…

our lives…

our minds…

our souls…

 

Cause us to hold fast

to hope…

to the future…

 

to the possibilities

of change…

of something new…

of something positive…

 

Gazing down…

Looking from afar

I see footprints

leading to 

The Future…

Hope

Changes are coming…

Letting go…

Hope is around

the corner

And…

Life is looking up

 

Sighing…

Not knowing what

to expect…

when…

But…

Waiting for something

New…

Different…

 

Right now 

I am standing

on the up side

of Down…

 

Watching…

Waiting…

Hoping…

To be

Found…

Waiting

Source: We Heart It

Always waiting

The new Norm…

 

No expectations

any more

 

If something 

happens by chance

 

Then…

the cynic in  me

will be surprised

 

After all this time…

why should I expect

More…

 

Always an afterthought

if not outright

Ignored…

Giving…Receiving

Source: We Heart It

A new day

Dawning…

 

Change is

afoot

 

Yet…

 

I move

forward

Cautiously…

 

Never wanting to

take a wrong step

Not to 

Offend…

Or —

Ruin progress

Achieved

 

Baby steps…

I am open…

learning…

Giving…

And–

Receiving

Trust

Image: We Heart It

Trusting is becoming

more and more

difficult

 

I want to…

But my trust

has been broken

over and over and over

 

Each day I wonder…

is this when

Trust will return…

When I can once again

find the faith…

To go on and have

my belief in humanity

again be a part

of my life.

Impossible Light

Image: We Heart It

After days of

darkness…

fear…

uncertainty…

A glimmer of light

A new day dawns…

with hope…

anticipation…

new possibilities…

Her heart swells

as she walks into

the Impossible Light

Today’s Quote:

I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now,

I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.
