		<description>To me, hope is when you can see possibilities... when you realize that what is your reality now, might not be the reality in the future.  

Hope = Seeing potential</description>

		<description>To me, hope is the belief that the darkness will end... even when no light is visible.  

It&#039;s the belief that we are not doomed to unrelenting, crushing pain or depression; that we will get through this and be happy again.  

It&#039;s the belief that tomorrow is going to be as good as, or better than, today.

And it&#039;s the fervent wish of a parent of a new-born -- we hope they will be OK, they will be happy, they will thrive.  

Glenda, you&#039;ve shown us that the definition of &quot;OK&quot; may be different, but no less valued, than the the norm; and that you certainly know how to be happy and thrive!
Thanks for being a constant encouragement and inspiration to me!

Hugs,
Mary</description>

		<description>Hi Glenda!
I believe that hope instills attempts at fostering an understanding of the possiblity of a different reality that will enable and  enhance the human spirit in the journey of living a meaningful life.
Happy holidays that are full of light and hope!
Amen.
Love,
Debbie Havusha</description>
