hope comes around again

Apparently Hope is something that i have yet to grasp. I have thougth about it for days now. I have figured out it is as fragile as glass, but once it settles in on you it becomes as hard and beautiful as diamonds. I am not sure why I have thought so much about hope recently. Possibly these thoughts are coming from the termoil at work. It seems you cannot go 2 steps without someone stopping you to complain, or tell you the "horrible" things they heard about DCX on the news. The Pessimism runs rampant out there. I wonder if I am trying so desperate attempt to stay optimistic in this pesamistic place is what has wrapped my brain around the idea of hope. I said to the shop steward tonight, "There will be bad times, and there will be good times. What we have to remember is that there is always hope." Maybe I need this hope in a way that I never have before. Whatever the reason, I am so glad there is hope. sweet dreamssandy
