Life is filled with ups and downs. Lately it seems the latter want to take over. With the rather hopeless outlook on the economy, international relations and the like, it’s a wonder any of us want to get out of bed in the morning. Where do we turn? What can we do to keep from sinking into dark depression?
As cliched as it may seem, I find it’s the little things that keep me going from day to day. A smile from a stranger… a hug from a child… a funny picture… an inspiring song…doing something for someone else, just because. It all reminds me that sometimes you have to look for joy in life. Sometimes that joyful experience can be right under your nose.
I find my hope renewed in day-to-day things — like those mentioned above. I also find my personal faith keeps me going, keeps me upbeat and watchful for that new day when the bigger picture won’t seem so dreary. But not everyone has that to lean on.
So what do you do to keep hope alive? Where do you find solice? Inspiration? Please share… because I believe if we pass it on, things can only get brighter.
