Three cheers for hope mongers
Don`t let some politicians fool you. Hope is a really powerful thing. Just ask someone waiting for results of an annual Cancer screening or a twelve year old waiting to be adopted. Ask the young woman waiting to get results of her bar exam or the first home buyers waiting for a call from their bank. Ask the couple at the fertility clinic or the young logger waiting on a loan for a new skidder. Ask a third-tour soldier in Iraq or a parent waiting for a teenager after midnight. Ask the single parent getting an old car inspected or a middle aged man awaiting a pink slip. Ask millions of Americans bent in half with the pain of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hope is the personal fuel for some folks. It keeps them breathing, keeps them up and running. Keeps them alive.

Be a hope monger. Spread this beautiful thing.

1. Hope IS an Attitude
Not a policy
