Committed to Hope

Sometimes it is to my detriment* but I live in hope.

I am able to hope for improvement in even the most dire situations.

And every time I see spring flowers poking up through the grass, I’m reminded of my commitment to hopefulness.

I saw these on my walk yesterday and had a burst of hopefulness.

*How can hope be to my detriment? When I hope instead of taking action. When I assume things will get better on their own. When I miss the opportunity to stop/change direction on something and keep working on something that would be best left alone. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen.
