Sometimes all you need is hope

[Nmgar]

Today I am hopeful. I am drinking a cup of tea, looking at my roses in the garden, listening to the birds and I have hope that today will be better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today.

If you live with constant anxiety you forget how powerful Hope can be. You forget that stepping back from the moment is important and that the great thing about this crappy, mortal coil is that generally, you always get another chance.

Today I have hope - to hell with yesterday and I'll worry about tomorrow when it comes. Just now, this minute I'm going to embrace hope - perhaps it will even choose to snuggle up and stick around.

Hi Nmgar

Love your hopeful/positive post and hope your day went well.

I do try to focus and live each new day as it arrives. I try not to look back on yesterday or look to tomorrow but focus just on today. This works well me. Each new day is a clean sheet allowing me the freedom to choose what I would like to do.

Wishing you many hopeful days ahead.

Thank you Lottie! Today was a good day- I love these- when feeling normal isn't something I have to work for.
