Yesterday when I came into work I was still feeling a bit of sorrow from the passing of Fran, when all of a sudden my good friend Gisela walked up and gave me this cute little book called "The spirit of hope". After reading several passages, there were a couple that really stood out that I'd like to share...
Even the strongest people must step back, take a deep breath, and summon their courage now and then.
AND
Fear and worry are normal, natural reactions to threats, but so are courage and hope...and they are the stronger, the more enduring.
Today I choose to have HOPE in my life. Thank you Bob for all the Hope Habit, it keeps me going on a daily basis.
Peace to you all! Love, Genie

Hey Genie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind gift... Those are fantastic quotes. You have strength, courage and hope. OF COURSE threat reactions are normal. You do what you do; react and recover as you react and recover; all the while knowing others in your life are doing the same.
The Spirit of Hope is a great title because it is there when you need it, when you want it... and when you don't. If you are in a step back moment; it's a moment. If you are in a moment of fear or worry; it's a moment. If you are in a moment of Hope; it's a moment...
All of these moments are your life; and thank you for them all; because they -- are all you. And... your family and friends love you...
