Hope

I hope I can make it through the day without bursting into tears over big things and little things.

I hope my emergency unemployment is approved.

I hope I find the strength to get through all of this.

I hope someday I can look back at it all and see it as just a bump in the road.

I hope there aren't any house showings today so that I can actually do some packing.

I hope the knot in the pit of my stomach loosens up.

I hope I can be the mom my children need me to be today...and every day.

I hope those around me who are struggling and hurting see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope I can make great Easter memories for my monkeys though it will never make up for their dad not being here.

I hope I can stop wallowing in self pity and make today better for at least one person.

It's one hell of a bump and I am SOO ready to be over it :)

Oh, I hope you had a good day today. I read something that said 'This day will never happen again.'

And I really think that good or bad- that's so true. I have my share of disasters. Like you, I hope they're just bumps in the road (and they usually are) so best wishes for you!

Standing on the other side of the bump with a rope. Grab on and I'll help you over. Sending love.

It's just a bump in the road. I know it's hard to see that now as you're in the trenches of it, but it will be okay. Hoping today was a bit easier on you.

I hope you things get better for you soon. And I hope you know that you wrote a really pretty post. How many times a day do I catch myself thinking "I hope..."?
