Hopeful Saturday

Copyright AJ Horton

Dandelions flower and then turn into a pretty arrangement of seeds.  Many of us like to pick them when they go to seed, take a deep breath and blow off the seed while making a wish.  It's just one of those fun things you do as a child and as an adult.  Maybe even some of what you wished for came true (especially if you wished for more dandelions).  Maybe none of your wishes came true.  But with blowing on the seeded dandelion you one day realize that what you're actually spreading with your breath is hope.   And hope is a wonderful thing to have.  You can't buy hope in a store, you can't pick it up off the street, it's not in your car.  Hope lives in each of us, in our attitude, in our breaths, and as we blow on the fragile, seeded dandelion.

It's Saturday.   What is your hope for today?  Shopping?  Playing?  Working?  TV?  World Peace?  How will you spread your hope?  Whatever you do - be safe and have fun.  And I hope you do.

So as you go through your Saturday, as with all days, keep hope alive!  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
