I have no idea what to do with this one. I'm not even sure what I was thinking about when I added it to the list. Maybe I was thinking of hope as opposed to despair. As dire as that sounds, it isn't actually hard to find despair if you watch the news and really think about the lives of the people of the world. Since I want my baby to be well-rounded and to be interested in current events and the issues of the world, I want her to be able to watch the news and hear about tragedy and find Hope.
Maybe I was thinking about Hope for her future. Whatever her goals and dreams, and whatever circumstances may stand in her way, I want her to always be hopeful about reaching her goals and attaining her dreams.
I think both perspectives are good, and I may have had both in mind. But that still doesn't help me figure out what to do about it this month. Maybe I'll think it over for a few days; that worked last time.

"Cold Water, surrounds me now; and all I've got is your hand" D. Rice
When surrounded by the cold water of whatever life throws at you, all you have is hope. We like to use the phrase "trust in God" in certain circles, but for this excercise you are in, I would rather say "hope in God", or better yet, "Hope in..." With the fact that the future is always uncertain, that only leaves us with hope. We could say that we are left with trust, but trust is not mystical enough for me, in the light of your month's pondering. Hope is the foundation. Like the word "love" it has lost all meaning. Perhaps that is one thing that might happen this month. Perhaps the reason you don't know why you put this word on your list is because you don't even know what it means anymore. Now's your chance to find out. I look forward to learning what you discover.
