“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up (Anne Lamont).”
Hope has its genesis in the struggles. Hope has its genesis in the pain. Hope is the candlelight in the darkest of nights. It speaks to us to go on. It whispers to us, don’t quit, it will be alright. If we trust hope, hope’s flame will grow brighter and wipe away the darkness.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
