It is the first week of advent. A time when many of us focus on the idea of Hope. (And this year it is also Hanukkah so a doubling of light, hope, and miracles which is good because I think we all need more light, hope, and miracles right now) This has been a year where many of us have faced challenges and some of us are wondering where hope might be found.
As a friend of mine pointed out the phrase "it will get better" can be toxic because we do not know if it will get better but we can still have hope. We can have hope even if all feels lost or if we have no idea if it will ever get better.
Hope is saying let's see to what may come.
Let's see what happens next, let's see where we can shine some light, let's see where we can find light for ourselves, let's us dream dreams, let's make plans (even if we have to throw them away later), let's spend time on our selves, let's spend time connecting with others …
In this season of hope consider what you are hoping for and ponder ways to make tiny steps of progress on those hopes. We have just about a month to go in 2021 which means we can prep for the new year and help set us up for success. Sometimes simply making a list of smart goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and anchored within a Time Frame) can make all the difference.
I hope you have a wonderful season of hope
