My thought for today is Hope. It is often defined as a feeling that a better outcome is possible, even when the data suggests otherwise. The Czech playwright who became a president, Vaclav Havel, said that "hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." When I arrived at the doors of AA, in 1997, a shred of hope was all I had left. Everything else was gone and all that remained was a hope that if I did what they told me to do, that things would get better. And things did get better. We are told that we share our experience, what has happened to us in the past, our strength, what is going on now in the present, and our hope, that what worked for me might also work for you.
