Hopeful

I'm rebelling. I'm here, when I should be working through a very long to-do list. But it's late, and I'm tired...

Bloggy-time has been scarce today - this week - this month! It's been one big thing after another -- remember that train I boarded at the beginning of the year? Yeah. Still chugging away -- but we will check off the last big January to-do item this coming week, when Mr. H's mom and sister come for a visit.

When that visit is done, life should slow down...a little...I hope...

:::

I just love this picture. It totally captures my life right now.  The new year has brought much more interest and many more calls,  job-wise, for Mr. H.  I'm so thankful for that. I would rather we were past 'interest' and more into the 'making offers' stage, but I'm doing okay -- things just "feel" different out there now, and I feel hopeful.

I feel just like this picture. We're certainly not out of the woods (in fact, the wolf is closer than ever), but is that a light just around the bend? Are we almost there? Or is this just slightly desperate, wishful thinking? I want to shake my head and be wise and prepare for the worst. That's practical.

But I just can't shake this feeling...

hopeful.
