In a place called hope

By Jessica

I have been mentally going through what needs to be accomplished this week and all I can say is I hope we get it all done. I hope for a lot of things. Some of this minor some of them major. Hope can be a blessing or a curse.

Around the office we hope we make our numbers. We hope that sales pick up. We hope that the equipment does not fail at the most inopportune moment. Most of all we hope that we have a job to come back to each day.

As a mother, I hope my children are healthy, happy and safe. I hope my boys grow up to be the outstanding men I know they can be. I hope they learn to take the good with the bad and run with it.

As a wife I hope my husband never stops loving me. I hope that my husband enjoys each day he has to its fullest. I hope my husband always looks at me with the same love in his eyes that he has today.

As a child I hope that my parents live to see their great-grandchildren born. I hope that my parents both know what they mean to me and how much of a difference they have made in my life.

As a friend I hope that all the lives I have touched know what they mean to me. I hope my friends are happy and without pain.

Hope is one thing that we should never lose sight of.
