Of course, I always want to better myself...somehow, someway.
I have been inspired this year by some friends that I have met along the way, and that is why I am writing this post about my one word for 2018.
My word is: Hope.
If you know me or you don't, 2017 was a year that rocked me to my core. It started out with some news that changed my life. I will spare you the gory details in this blog.
Why did I choose hope?
Well, on Christmas Eve morning, I could have been feeling sorry for myself. My girls were gone, my sister was out of town, it was definitely not how I thought I would be spending the day. I decided to go for a walk. I went around my neighborhood toward the golf course and I caught the most gorgeous picture. The sun was coming up through the trees, there was a lovely reflection, and to me it was just perfect. Then, not 25 feet later in one of the lawns I saw the word, hope. It was part of a holiday decoration, but to me, that sign was placed there for me to see it.
I do have great hope for 2018. I hope to be a better person. I hope to learn more. I hope to read more. I hope to enjoy the sounds of my girls laughter, more. I hope to laugh at myself more. I hope that I might even be able to love more.
No matter how bad your day might be, have hope. Hope and knowledge that tomorrow will be better. Know that you can make it better. You have the power to choose.
So, have hope.
