I decided to look up the meaning of hopeful. It says if you are hopeful about something, you're optimistic. Hopeful comes from the word hope, meaning “optimism about a future event,” and the suffix -ful, meaning full. So if I'm hopeful, I'm full of hope : I think something good is going to happen. I am very hopeful that 2020 will be over on December 31st and we can move to 2021! I am hopeful that the new administration will lead to better outcomes for more people, whether they are large or small. I am hopeful that sometime in the next year we will be able to travel, wherever we decide to go. I am hopeful that more people will be employed again. I am hopeful that the pandemic will lessen either by public health measures or a vaccine. I am not hopeful about that happening soon. I am hopeful that next year I will have success with my tomatoes again. This year we ate good and I had enough to make some salsa. Who knows I might try something else? I am hopeful that the ivy plants I got on a literature drop day will survive the winter as they were just planted. Without hope, I don't think I could get out of bed in the morning. I wouldn't plant another plant or tree if I didn't have hope. I believe it is a necessary ingredient for life. And, for sure, if I didn't have hope for the future, I would not attend a church and profess to be a Christian of the not-so-evangelical persuasion. --Carolyn
