The Power of Hope
There are times, circumstances, life's trials and tribulations that often cause one to lose hope. I know how it feels to feel so hopeless that nothing seems worth it anymore.. It is a horrible state of mind to be in! Then, something or someone comes along and renews that sense of meaning and having faith that this too shall pass. The past year has been very challenging, stressful, depressing and I felt so hopeless.
I am in a different place today and I owe it to my friends at Mayo, family, peers, wonderful doctors and my faith that was surely tested over and over.
How has hope positively impacted your life??
Wishing you all blessed times and renewed HOPE!

Beautifully stated! I agree wholeheartedly....
Wow, I really appreciate all the lovely gifts! I miss nice things.
We all deserve nice things...even if it is a stranger across the world that thinks of you and wishes you nothing but good things.
Hugs
I understand. God Bless and please know you are not alone.
Hi JoniReb. Just wanted to welcome you and say that I have had anxiety all of my life from a young age as well, and that there are many of us who do understand and care. God Bless you too and take care Piglit
I am proud of you for having hope....always. This can be difficult and I will admit that sometimes hope and faith can be tested making one think life will never get better. Today, I have hope and although I am still not where I want to be I feel blessed. Hugs
Hi,
I am glad that we can be supportive to one another. Yes, lets continue, in solidarity, to strive for better days... Hugs

Hello,
Everyone in life goes through ups and downs and I know how it feels to always feel down. Interestingly, I find that if I at least have faith and hope things appear a little less burdensome. You are stronger than you feel. You have most likely bounced back before and will do so once again. Happy New year..
