Hope is the feeling that the feeling that you have is not permanent. Sometimes, we don't want to embrace change, but remember, this is how we got here. (We're further down the road.)
If I had a penny for all of my blessings and a penny for all of my troubles and woes, I think the first count would be a mis-count. The second go-round, my blessings would be much more plentiful than my trials and tribulations. I seem to take the everyday, constant blessings for granted, because the other things seem to grab my attention.
Remembering back over the years, all things have passed in time and life is still going forward. When the current trials and tribulations have been resolved, I will look back and somehow, I would have made it through. In hindsight, I will have progressed and the insights gained will be worth it.
So keep going forward! Just for today, we will live each moment! As time has proven, we have survived all of the days before this one, so today, we will be fine!
You and I will be OK!
