This really helped me today  and wanted to share it with all of you.

Hope does not usually come as the just reward for our hard work and struggle.
It comes as a gift. The experience of hope is very much like the experience
of receiving a surprise gift that is perfectly suited to our needs. A really
good gift is one that fits perfectly both the giver and the receiver. Hope
fits our needs perfectly. But if a gift is out of character with the giver,
then it may be difficult for the receiver to accept without reservations.
Fortunately, hope is just the kind of gift that fits HP's character. It
is a perfect fit for HP. The HP of Hope loves to give hope.

Like our dear Karilyn says:  "we always have hope"  
now I see why a little clearer.
