In today's world, all the evil and violence, I am choosing to

[Murphyb849]

Have hope.
Yes, hope may be heavy.
But a world without it is unbearable.
Hope for this country, our President, his congress and agenda for the rights and benefit of the American people and the basic decency and kindness of human beings to rise up again.

1. Right there with you, my dear Murphyb849!

Without hope, we are lost.

[Biophilic]

2. I love every story that talks of hope and people being decent. Basically I believe

that most of us are good and decent beings. I have to believe that or I would just give up. i also truly do believe that.

3. I got to have it...just to make life livable..

and I have to go out and find the good that's all around me. All the fear about future events that are not real can make me sick. Over nothing.

[Red Mountain]

4. I have hope

5. Right there with you.

6. Like one really cool dude aays....

"The Audacity of Hope".... it's a powerful thing.

Reminds me of when my kids were in elementary school and the Presidential election of 2008 was winding down to election day. Our household was very much on Team Obama, so each day on the way to school we'd chant these four words:

PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

And the rest is history.

7. I hear you. I'm trying, but honestly, I'm weary.

[cilla4progress]

8. Love this.

Thanks for the inspiration!

[hibbing]

9. It is tough

But I'm trying to remember the good people out number the bad, the bad just get amplified on social a lot more than the good. You would think every middle aged white person freaks out about having to wear a mask on a plane.

Peace

10. Look around and I see hope everywhere.

I dread doom and gloom opinions and posts.

[Murphyb849]

14. Me too. I want to see "best case scenario" posts vs the worst case

[LakeArenal]

15. Also I wish some would not use swear words

I don’t mind it until it’s every other word

It reminds me of the coarse trumpers yelling at service people. Captive audience that have to listen to it.

When I mention it tho I get pushback using the exact words. Even got a spelling lesson the other day.

11. K & R...nt

12. Just remember

Glove, soft as an easy chair
Glove, fresh as the morning air
One glove that is shared by two
I have worn with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain glove would grow
Glove ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the tightest glove
Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one glove
Ageless and ever evergreen
