Hope does not disappoint

I often talk about how my favorite word is the word HOPE.

There are multiple posts here on this blog about that discuss hope…. From Hope to discussing that Hope has two daughters, to the fact that Generations upon hopeful generations use traditions, to even discovering What sound does hope make when it dies.

But the world still feels heavy today. The news brings stories of assassinations of legislators and drums of war. There’s strife and partisanship. It feels like there is even more marginalization of those already pushed to the fringes of society.

But there is an undercurrent of hope still there. It’s in the connections we make with those around us. It’s in the way we appreciate the magic in the mundane. It’s in the writing of our own stories and the telling of those stories that matter to us.

Hope is there, ever flowing, ever waiting, ever present even when we don’t think we can use it anymore. We just need to find it. We need to appreciate it.

I have been told that geocaching is a waste of time. “Why waste a perfectly good hike trying to find something useless?” I would not even hike as much as I do if it weren’t for geocaching. Most of the stories I have written would not have been inspired if it weren’t for geocaching. My mental health would have suffered if it weren’t for geocaching. I get outside, I hike, I problem solve, I dream, I inspire, I find magic all because I find those caches…. I travel the paths less taken. I dare to take the gravel road. I hike the deep woods. I have met people who also dare to dream, to do, to find the hidden gems, who dare to go on that adventure. So I appreciate it #iowa #hiking #geocaching #appreciate

If you think there is too much darkness in the world, be the one to bring the candle. Be light. Keep hoping for a better world.

Hope does not disappoint.

Write your own story.

Stay magical, friends.
