Hope, the first candle lit.  The wisdom scriptures all tell us to be aware, watchful, awake . . . 

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.  Tom Bodett

I love, probably too much.  I thrive to fulfill my life's purpose each day.  I hold onto hope by doing what the Divine sets before me in every moment.
