Write a little every day, without hope, without despair.
—Isaak Dinesen
I love this quote and for me it’s not just about writing, it’s about living our values even though there’s no guarantee things will turn out the way we want. Patience, perseverance, and courage can be powerful when hope is in short supply.

I am at the end of my patience, perservance and courage. hard to do when chaos reigns
Yes, you have been through too much! I’m sending love and prayers.
Amen to that. I think you hit the nail right on the head.
Thanks. 🙂
Amen.
God bless, CM.

…life doesn’t come with a guarantee.
Absolutely, and that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth living.
I couldn’t live without hope.
A lot of people agree with you.
I have kept a grateful journal every day for about 25 years – it has made me a happier person for sure.
Yes!
I’m afraid I’m in MadSnapper’s club.
I’m sending you love and prayers too.
I never thought of it this way. Very interesting and something for me to ponder.
Thanks.
How timely! I’ve been trying to post something (a word or two) every day in the new ‘Joy’ journal someone gave me — but the last two days I’m coming up empty.
I would love to know more, maybe you can post about it?
AMEN!
Thanks!
Well, I chose “hope” as my guiding word for the year. With all that could be down the road for us, hope seems like the best way to go.
Please let us know how it goes. Love and prayers.
I can’t imagine NOT knowing the Lord and not having Hope in this world today.
Does it have to be in this world? What are you hoping for? This reminds me of Kathleen Norris’s, “Prayer is not asking for what you think you want, but asking to be changed in ways you can’t imagine.”
We always chose hope.
A lot of people do. 🙂
