A Hopeful Lori

{photology v.2 by emily powers at oscraps.com}

I greeted the new year with renewed hope, optimistic confidence and broad dreams. Then they were slowly crushed. I have found myself so low. I am having a hard time finding joy in the minuscule moments of my days. And that saddens me. I have lost my motivation and I want it back. I want the old me that loved each day of my life. The solution to my problems remains outside of my grasp and is not OK. We are all still here and I want to enjoy it. I wish all would settle and we could move on. Yet factors remain pending and I pace in limbo. I am determined to live each day with self guidance, increased reliance and appreciative gratitude. I need to get back in that zone. Hopefully tomorrow is my day.
