hope

[RICHARD]

One thing I have noticed about the world lately is that people have no hope anymore.

Like what's the deal??

Is there something that excites you? That makes you look forward to tomorrow??

Life does kick your butt and leave you with bruises, but there has to be something that you
look forward to in your life.


What is it?

[Samantha Puppy]

1. Getting up and being able to snuggle with Samantha. While I'm at work, I can't wait for 5pm so I can go home and spend the evening with her. If it's a day where I have other plans after work, my heart actually aches I miss her so much.

2. My wedding. I cannot wait to become Jaime L. Patterson. I'm having a great time planning everything and I'm very anxious to see it all happen.

3. After my wedding, I will look forward to spending every single day with my husband and starting a family.

[Rio and Me]

Well thinking about it!
i love my work!!! but i hate the getting up early (you know you just wanna stay there for 5 more minutes,lol) but once im up i love the mornings there so peacefull and your like the only one in the world! i love that feeling!
and i always thought that i hope to much and that i may get let down but you know the saying "you can only hope"

P.S Rio likes the mornings too shes always waiting for her walk to frolic around without bother!!!

The few cancer patients that I come in contact with give me all the hope I need. I look forward to retirement when I can get a dog and spend more time doing volunteer work. In the meantime, I'm happy with what I got; a roof over my head, a car, a job, food in the fridge, my cats, and of course Pet Talk and Thursday's at Dick's Place. Doesn't take much to please me in this world.

I am border collie obbessesed

My dogs give me hope. I miss them terribly when I am away at work. My husband also gives me hope, and I look forward to seeing him every day!!
I am thankful each day when I wake up, just to be alive, and I am so happy when I turn on the TV and there is no awful news.
I have recently gotten better at being optimistic--I annoy myself even, when I am thinking of the positives in situations sometimes!!!!!

I hope we win the lotto

[Cheshirekatt]

Even though she's a total pain in the behind, I love it when Tigerlily wakes me up every morning at 5:30 with purrs and meows. She's not hungry, she just wants love and scritches. Then she cuddles up on my pillow, next to my face and purrs.

*sigh*

Total contentment.

*huge beauty contestant vaseline smile*

I also hope for world peace and the end to world-wide hunger. Thank you.

I hope this is end of the bad news coming into my house...


Aunt dies week and a half ago.
My brother GF gets killed, in front of my
brother, crossing the street.
My nephew's wifes passes and my sister's
dog checks out......

Some days it just don't pay to wake up...

[Miss Meow]

Richard, I'm sorry about all the sadness around you right now.

[Soledad]

OMG, RICHARD!!

I'm so sorry about all of your losses. I hope you and your family are strangers to bad news for some time!

[mugsy]

Richard,

I am so incredibly sorry for the losses your family has suffered. There is just too much sadness right now. I hope you can lean on your friends here through this tough time. Please know we're here.

Oh and for hope, I'm also not finding a lot, but, my hope lies in Mike and the dogs. I love dog rescue, dog transport, and anything else I can do to help save dogs. (yes, I AM obsessed).

Stay strong Richard!

Molly

[KYS]

Richard,
I also am sorry to hear about your family losses.
I believe in hope, because with-out it,
life can seem unbarrable at times.

[Pam]

Richard I am so sorry to hear about all of the recent losses in your life. I do hope that you can come here to PT and let us cheer you up as you have done so many times for us with your unique brand of humor.

For the last two years the thing that "cranks my tractor" the most is my beautiful grandson. He was born on September 1, 2001 and my life is not the same! If I am having an "off" day he brightens it with his innocent smile. When I hear his voice over the phone I melt. Of course I am thankful for health and family and pets, my job, etc. also. Somehow we have to remind ourselves to count our blessings, don't we? Life is short. Love while you can and tell those you love that you do love them! We are here for you Richard.

HEY,

THIS IS A HOPE THREAD......

I wasn't fond of the dog......
In true Pomeranian fashion he would 'jump'
on any shoe, article of clothes left within reach....

Thanks everyone....

Trust me, I have been thru worse.....
one day i'll chronicle my 'Six months of hell'
