My little town started putting up the huge holiday garlands across the main street. Okay, it's only 5 blocks long! And this Friday evening we will have the tree lighting ceremony. The guys have a lot to do to get it decorated by Friday. Perhaps there will be people singing, no doubt there will be kids of all ages bundled up. We expect colder weather, so I figure there will be "frosty breath".

Creating hope is getting my priorities in order, knowing that in order to create hope, it takes work. And be willing to do that work. The reward is feeling better about everything in general.
