2010. A new year. A new time. A new era. For this new phase in my life I am going to allow my hope to guide me towards my goals. See the big picture. Accept the past and embrace the future. Emily Dickinson said "'Hope' is the thing with feathers". That means it is not sedentary. It is mobile. It can fly. When we let it. Let's allow our hopes to lift us to the place that makes the impossible possible.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb...of me.

-Emily Dickinson
