Feeling Hopeful
I try on (most) Mondays to share some Good News post, an item for which I am thankful. This is part of my own mental health activity.
Sometimes it is a big thing, sometimes it is a small thing. This week, it is a general feeling of being hopeful. I almost titled this “Feeling Optimistic” but hopeful is more accurate.
I am not going to list specifics here, but there are some signs of hope in areas in which have caused some concern. Some of them are still works in process but there are signs.
Social media can sometimes be about putting out content to make things looking better than they are. I have tried to be transparent and to share struggles, while at the same time looking for that Good News.
I am thankful that there are reasons to be hopeful. I was once reminded that there is a difference between being hopeless and feeling hopeless. It is the same for being hopeful.
The signs that I have seen lately are bring that hopefulness, feeling and reality together.
