Hope Dies Last...

This week started out uneventful, yet busy. Yet it ended exactly the opposite: eventully slow...lots of stuff at a nice pace.

1. It was good to see some faces that haven't been seen in awhile. This is alwasy a cause for celebration and we did just that in our own little way.

2. I enjoyed some of the simple pleasures of this world that often get pushed to the margin of life due to non-stop schedules.

3. I mourned with a friend as he told me about losing his job that he loved doing.

4. My future has seemed to develop some traction. This is exciting for I finally sense some sense of movement!

Life is good. Life is tough. But as Studs Terkel (what a name!) says, "Hope has never trickled down. It has always sprung up. ... Hope dies last."
