Photo Love {Inspiration}: Choosing Hope

October 25, 2010
Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.

Today I thought I was interviewing for a great job and it sounded exactly like what I want to do. Β It was except that it was in another country (and moving to two countries twice this past year is enough for me).Β  I was a little bit deflated after hearing that. Β It has taken a while to find and switch to a job that really interested and excited me…and then it didn’t quite work out.Β  The Manila visit was also hard as we saw my husband’s grandma valiantly fighting but still slipping away.

I’m sure you’ve encountered difficult situations. Β I know it can be crushing. Β But keep on going, keep on trying, and keep on hoping for the best (and it will happen eventually).

I choose hope.
I hope you do too!

Have a lovely week!

    With a positive attitude, things will work out for the best. You’ll find another job that interests you. And I hope your grandma-in-law will be okay. Hugs!

    (Also, I’m just about done with the gift guide. The collage is finished, now I just need to write the little intro and compile the list. I should have that to you this evening after work. <3)
