Hope is the Thing with Feathers

Happy Day 49 

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul 

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all. 

And  sweetest in the gale is heard

And sore must be the storm 

That could bash the little Bird

That kept so many warm. 

I've heard it in the chilliest land

And in the strangest Sea

Yet never in Extremity,

It asked a crumb of me. 

    Emily Dickinson

Looking Forward with Hope

Happy Day 48

I love this pioneer painting I bought in Park City nearly 20 years ago.  It reminds me to put one foot in front of the other, take one step at a time and look forward to the future with hope. 

President Uchdorf's talk- The Infinite Power of Hope - is a favorite. 

Cinderella Pumpkin

Happy Day 47

My dear friend, Cass  McNally, gave us this fabulous ceramic Cinderella Pumpkin many years ago. It has been a harbinger of autumn - such a treasure and symbol of a cherished friendship.
