A question came to mind regarding hope.

I appreciate it your comment Because it is easier to relate to than some others. I have lived with my chronic illness and debilitating symptoms for decades. Hope becomes harder and harder to hold on to. I don't think this is a personal weakness; but a challenge more difficult for some of us.
I'm neither a pessimist nor a grouch. But I am very realistic and tend to look at the scientific, Hardcore facts. The fact is I don't expect to get better, only worse (fact.)
There's no cure (fact.)
So although I am hopeless regarding my health, I have only the hope that I can keep myself comfortable, safe and not too lonely at this part of my life.
It sounds to depressing to walk about being "Hopeless," But even if that is the case, HOPE isn't everything!
My name is JOY, & even though I'm hopeless for my future, Some days I find a lot of JOY in the little things.
I won't to preach to you.
Just try to find a tiny little JOY Every day.
Best regards.

And I think you have the answer, especially as we age and have seen and experienced so much: just try to find some joy every day we are given. There is always someone whose struggle is more difficult. Thank you for responding and God bless you. Much peace-
