We are all survivors! Some of us survive cancer, others life changing accidents, others still a negative relationship or childhood. Something all survivors share is Hope. Hope for a cure, a better tomorrow and/or a full life. This hope is not passive, it is something which we anticipate, work with and look forward to.

My friend James is the Hope Ambassador this week, sharing words and actions to help us discover our own hope.

Anyway James got me thinking about hope,feelings and action, most importantly my actions and feelings. Hmm…but where to start there seems so many things I could be doing to create the future I dream of?

James’ day 1 of Hope Free Gift has some great starting points, so I printed off the sheet, made a hot coffee and started to read.

Then I heard our postman slow down at my Letter Box and wondered who wanted what today!

Then I did a rethink! Wow!

How long has it been since I actually looked forward to the postie coming or got excited about what might be in my Letter box? Since the advent of email, sms etc it seems the only thing i get regularly in my mail box is adverts and bills :(

Now honestly when was the last time you got excited about junk mail and the utilities bill, not exactly warm and fuzzy makers are they?

Then and there I decided that my one Small Step toward hope and my ideal future would be to spend 55 cents a week and write – yes with a real pen and paper :) one letter – just one letter each week.

Hehe, I’m already giggling thinking of my family and friends reaction, and of what I might find in my mailbox soon:)

You know you really can eat an elephant – one small bite at the time :)) Just like we can change our lives on small step at the time.
