My mantra of late is "the right [job, man, hometown, ... fill in the blank] is just around the corner. That means I keep putting one foot mirthlessly in front of the other, looking for sunny spots here and there, and trying to be patient.
So you can understand why I enjoyed the RealSimple.com thought for the day and felt it necessary to share it with you.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.

An aside: Today would have been my parents' 71st wedding anniversary. Not that that fact has anything at all to do with hope. I always hoped they'd get a divorce and he'd get custody and I could be away from her hypercriticism and megadisapproval. Oh well.
