Hope Really Does ....

.... matter.

Sometimes it's the only thing that matters.
Especially during one of "those weeks".
Or months.
Or hell .... even years.

I'm having one of those months.
And it totally sucks.

All I really want to do is slam my fist into a brick wall.
Or .... slam someone's head into a brick wall.
No, it wouldn't solve anything and would only make matters worse.
But the action itself would feel so good while it was happening.

Anyway .... I digress.
Yet again.

It's during times/months like this that I'm glad when I'm reminded that there is Hope.
And that it does matter.
Very much.

This is a video that was put together for Camp Widow back in August.
It shows widowed people doing things they never, ever thought they'd do.
Or be able to do.
But they/we did.
And that matters.

Very much.




Happy Wednesday/Thursday, Peeps.
Keep Hope alive.
:)

thanks for sharing this again Janine; although I saw it at camp and again posted various places since then it is a good reminder. This seems like it has been "one of those weeks" for an awful of my widow friends - myself included, what is in the air????? have continued praying for you and your family - but have been meaning to ask you about how you have been feeling physically with your arthritis, I know stress really tends to send my joints into a tizzy. Hope you are taking time to take care of yourself.

ha ha, my word verification is rednes, missing an s to be totally appropriate but I think the arthritis gods are out there making fun of my swollen joints

Wonderful video!! Was that you getting a tattoo? Are you saying what it is? I'm tempted, but chicken! Ha! Praying for you and some rain for Texas! Hang in there!
