I don't think hope is a very positive word.

 I sure HOPE something good will happen. Don't hope, work on making it happen. Be positive that something good will happen. Those who hope, in my opinion, are those who have a hard time doing things for themselves.

Well, you got me. I never said I wasn't a hypocrite. Some of those were on my posts, but were quotes from others, so you can't count those. I sure "hope" you all will forgive me.

When I just think of the word hope it sets my mind to a new frame of thinking.  When I first got sober 23 years ago I was a mess. I saw that quote by Robert Frost and knew my life could be better if I tried harder. It has stayed with me all this time.

      I believe you are right .    I hope the people will stand together.   Maybe  the cash will have a trickle down effect.

  Ironically ,,  James McMurtry  song on the radio right now.   "We Can't Make It Here Anymore" ,      "Empty pallets,  rusted tracks...  guess we can't make it here anymore."     

 F' Hope.    Hope is the last resort when there's no other course of action.       The universe rewards action.

   Except when fishing...       " Hope you catch a big one "
