Gratitude list PLUS a regular list

Today, I am grateful for...having something to hope for:

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. - Dalai Lama

To live without Hope is to Cease to live. - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Three months ago, I was struggling to find something to hope for. Things are very dark (thanks Captain Obvious!). Even if you're ok with how the world is trending toward fascism and dictators, it still doesn't look that great from an economic perspective.

Somewhere I read a quote that said that hope is a discipline (-Mariame Kaba). I vibed with that idea because I have found that many things that were good for me could only be achieved through discipline. So I began to think that I needed to work on having things to hope for. Take some action.

    ...so I can read some Chinese novels/ stories. When I started to learn Japanese, it frustrated me that so many people are in the world creating stories that stay locked behind a language. Not because people don't know Chinese, but because no one translates them so that I can read them in English. A whole world locked behind a language I can't access. Frustrating!!!

    4. I hope to lose weight so that my blood pressure comes down

I appreciate the whole FEEL of this list. Thank you! I read recently something along the lines that optimism is the fantasy that all will be better tomorrow, whereas hope is the ability to deal with things tomorrow if they aren't better. I am glad that you have hope. It is the kind of strength we all need.

Thanks. That's a great quote - optimism vs hope.
