finding hope


i just realized that i'm in optimism recovery mode
these last few years have been a bit hard emotionally
nothing too scaring but hard never the less

***
anyway, the other day, i took a drink
of real ginger -no chemicals added-
soda and it took my breath away
so much flavor, so much potency

i want to be like that ginger soda
i want knock my socks off {and yours too}

i think i've gotten use to the chemical taste
and while "natural" flavors are okay
the *real thing is much better.

*straight ginger would be "realer" but way too real for my taste buds.

how are you finding hope these days?

  1. I know what you mean about the 'real' ginger beer. I got a sip when I was in Glasgow and dear Lord I had tears in my eyes from the punch it packed.
    Being real and true has been a goal for me this year. It doesn't always work but I'm getting there.

  3. I have been finding hope through myself--allowing myself to be creative and real.  Following my dreams.  Valuing myself as an individual :)

  4. Did I mention to you the e-course thing I'm doing? I'm learning so much about myself, about why I am how I am...and that really gives me hope that I can change and be healthier and stronger and more alive.

  6. Ooh, I will have to try real ginger beer, it sounds eye-opening! And I love the phrase 'optimism recovery mode'- I think that describes exactly where I am at too.
