Thought for Today: Hope Week #1: Tiny Bursts

The last time I wrote a blog article here on sarahswritingcafe was March 25th, about 9 months ago. Since then, I've thought about writing here so many times but felt that I had nothing to share, no desire to go through any thought process deeper than what to fix for dinner. About a month ago, I suddenly felt the urge to start blogging again. I told myself to start small, to maybe blog a few favorite things like I did once upon a time. Over the next month, each week I will post a favorite thing along with a thought for the theme of hope. I would love to hear what is bringing you hope as we close out 2020 and look ahead to a new year. I HOPE to hear from you!!

This photo was taken on November 28th. The leaves had fallen, the winds had come, the frost had shocked to death every other remaining green leafy plant in my gardens. Yet, these English daisies (and the ones below) kept blooming, kept sharing their small bright blossoms of cheerfulness with the cold harsh world around them. Hope comes to us in the unexpected strength all around us. We have to open our eyes to see it. We need to just stop for a moment to appreciate hope in the tiny bursts of beauty along a harsh path.
