Hopeful

You know, it struck me this weekend that I have a pretty grand existance. Yeah, it has its problems. Life will always have its problems. But reality is that my problems are not that bad. I have a great daughter. I have a great job, career and place to do these things. I have the benefits of some really great friends who I can call on at pretty much a moments notice. The church that I go to, while not perfect, is a great place for Jacqueline and I to go. The people there make a difference in my own life. And then there is hope. The hope that I am judging something correctly and that it will be as good as I think. Yes, I have to wait, discover and seek. But for the first time in my adult life, I feel like this path is actually worthwhile and has merit in the grand scheme of long term. This is a weird feeling for me. It makes me smile.
