Hope is much like a cat in the Dark--you only know it's there by the reflection of its eyes--which means there is Light nearby.
-- Terri Guillemets--
I'm not a pessimist. And, despite everything that's happened, I don't think I'm turning into one. I did think the pessimist spirit was gaining on me for a bit, but it never actually caught up.
I used to be an optimist. I hesitate to call myself one now. The first definition Google provides for that type of person is someone who is "hopeful and confident about the future." Yeah, that doesn't quite describe me really.
On average, I have not been very hopeful or confident about my future. But sometimes, confetti sized images, of a future that could be....not just any future...but one where I get everything I want...float down into my thoughts.
A future where I am healed. A future where I am a mom. A future where I'm hopeful and confident about...anything.
