  when i realize that things could have gone more worse... it gives me hope that things go better too.... ;-)

  Knowing that things usually get better with time helps me a little. What helps more than anything is when I have a change of attitude. Even if things aren't better, I've noticed a small attitude enhancement helps most.

  I find hope in that there is always a tomorrow and try to follow the 'tomorrow will be a better day' train of thought.

  God is my main man when it comes to Hope.  I have faith in Him and right now that's all that's keeping me going.  I also pray a lot and I am seeing some response to my prayers. 
  It's funny that like that old rock & roll song (I even forgot who sang it) in real life...... you don't always get what you want....but you get what you need....!
  
  Hang in there and don't give up...you always have your friends at Soulcast to talk to.

  qpdoll - yeah, that's true. that idea also helps to remind me to appreciate when things are good
   
  beyond - you're right, attitude is everything
   
  alyss - well, today could be better. i got some news, and now i'm in the 'sit and wait' mode. i hope it turns out well.
   
  rolling - that was the stones. you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need. that line frequently runs through my mind.

  observing what people create and trying to create things myself sometimes gives me hope, or at least makes me feel a little better. Any kind of self-expression or art. They say that Art is the glue of the world =P
  
  
  Also, making future plans for myself like traveling to new places and mapping out how to do it helps me too.

  oy! hope things feel better for you soon. When I am all beside myself looking for that same hope...I turn to gratitude as an answer...it shifts your perspective enough to get onto the right track. also I find that giving to another, without expectation of any return is another way to find hope,  the clarity and connectedness that may be missing. good luck!

  Hi Trav, Still needing that little ray of hope?  Maybe I can help you see it from my perspective recently.......
  
  True story too btw.....  (smile)
  
  I've been looking at buying a notebook or laptop.  I didn't need one that did all the stuff my desktop does because I just don't.  I don't use 90% of the stuff on it anyway.  ;-)  But, I know almost nothing about computers, the terms used to describe them - etc.  I was lost.  I mean utterly and completely lost.  I looked and looked on-line at a few I liked but I really didn't know if what I was looking at was what I really needed.  So, I asked a friend to help me.  That friend generously took time from their schedule and not only answered my questions but looked at the very notebooks I was considering and gave me their opinion.  Did that friend think they did very much by answering a few questions and look at a website?  I bet they didn't but how they helped me was invaluable.  A very practical ray of hope and sunshine was offered to me by a friend.  I appreciate it too!  Sometimes we give out more hope than we see coming in.
  
  You're a great computer expert!

  lost - yeah, planning for the future at least helps to give me a path to focus on, and that helps.

  mamie - i was given the opportunity for gratitude today, and i took it. i'm greatful for so many things, but most particularly, for one person.

  fearing - thank you, you just brightened my day :)

• fearing said on Jul 27, 2008....

  I sincerely hope I did.

• Mamie said on Jul 28, 2008....

  aw, and i know who that special person is too!! see how great gratitude is??

• silverwhisper said on Jul 29, 2008....

  what gives me hope? honestly, i get hope from tons of sources: seeing parents & children, watching the incredibly supportive nature of soulcasters as we encounter newcomers, sometimes even writing.
  
  i find that as a rule, if one is willing to see hope, one will see it. :>
