    Hope delivered in 10 Posts   In my mind today, I’m thinking and searching for Hope. As I swim through the world of social media: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, I’m desperately seeking inspiration. I’m finding despair and dissension. I’m amazed at how many people choose to hate.

    The Worst In my mind and heart today, I’m feeling warm and fuzzy. I was able to spend the whole day with my sweet, strong, loving mother. My Aunt, her loving sister Linda, brought her over, and we had such a wonderful day. Three years ago my condition worsened greatly. My diaphragm was failing, and…
