(15,480 posts)My nearest and dearest have had to deal with some major health & personal issues, but we've all made it through, and with some very loving acts of kindness to and from others along the way. I have encountered some opportunities to do some very emotionally rewarding volunteer work in my community, and have gotten others to make similar commitments.
With all the greed and violence in our world, I still hold out hope for the future.
Hope is the thing with feathers -
By Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
Ive heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
