#HOPE Day

pain-is-real-hope-is-too_orig.jpg

This month on #StoriesofHopewithDrGia and here on the blog, we talked a lot about death, loss and grieving... darkness [of the soul].  I feel it is important that we affirm the reality of pain, but also recognize that hope is real. Hope is also most helpful in those dark moments of pain. 

It is the "thing" that gets you moving [forward], even if the movement is a slow, really tiny step. The goal is intentional, deliberate movement.  The movement may just be waking up today and bathing, but that is movement and hope in action.
