I Am believing hope, and my faith are the epitome of my nature

~~ ✰~~
The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts. _{Alain de Botton}

I have always felt that the moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours.  No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen.  And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot.  The possibility is always there.

Thanks Kathi for expressing your joy/appreciation. Like this on hope and the site & has lots to offer!(:

  Looking into positive characteristics allows growth in the very areas we desire./Isn’t that what affirmations assist with the focus on what we want to come alive… ???! (:

Thank you Appreciating!

I watched the VIA video, from “post 2”. It was excellent. I watched it twice, and jotted down a few notes…

There is much to be gained by examining character development.

And, not just character development, but what becomes available from this…
such as resilence, contribution, exploration, and other aspects of being extraordinary!!!

In response to Kathi's post:

As always Kathi, so glad you are here and sharing what you enjoy and what matters for you!

Love it!

This is a forum, and what a perfect place to SHARE 

Heck, good reinforcement for sharing outside this arena.

Heard a new acronym for me yesterday IRL {in real life lol) 

Not that sharing here or in our minds isn't real... Its awesomely real!

It is just a wonderful thing when wonderful anywhere... translates to wonderful EVERYWHERE(: 

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
We will rise
We will rise
We'll rise, oh oh
We'll rise

I will be gentle with myself this year

I am more capable than I give myself credit for

I will remind myself of the ways in which I have grown, and the things that I have overcome

I make sure to continue to work on becoming the person who is capable of achieving my goals

Everything in my life is improving.

I appreciate those who support me.

I am blessed to have everything in my life to make it successful.

I return to the basics of life: forgiveness, courage, gratitude, love, and humor.

I tweaked the affirmations from

above, and now they are working better for me (:

I am gentle with myself this year.

I am capable beyond my belief

I always remember

the ways in which I have grown,

and the things that I have overcome

and I love how that reassures me.

I am allowing my ideal self

to become the person

who can exceed all of my goals

I do recognize how everything in my life is improving exponentially in my highest valued areas.

I am blessed with the angelic people in my life who support me

I am overjoyed to have everything in my life

to make it

continuously successful.

I am glad I returned  

to the basics of life:

forgiveness,

courage,

gratitude,

love,

and humor.
