Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - December 22nd

 Hope is the last thing ever lost. —Italian proverb. 

The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. —Barbara Kingsolver

 

Hope is outreaching desire with expectancy of good. It is a characteristic of all living beings. —Edward S. Ame

 

Over the last couple of weeks, the author has talked about the things she has learned in 2020: perspective, simplicity, resiliency.  Today, the last topic the author learned we all need in life is: HOPE. 

 

For the author, there have been some very hard times, but what she learned is that she needs hope in life.  Merriam-Webster dictionary defines hope as: to cherish a desire with anticipation: to want something to happen or be true.

 

The author learned that hope can be as simple as planning and living in expectation to visit a new state park, planning and implementing a night out with friends or scheduling a vacation and waiting to go visit the beach.

 

With hope, we focus on what is ahead and not what is behind.  Hope is the expectation of something amazing. 

 

Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror. ― Colin Powell

 

ACTION:  As we near 2021, start planning fun and exciting activities.  2020 may not have been a great year, but have hope that 2021 will be your best year ever.
