Hope is "the Making of You"

I've had a hard time for a few years now and try to write a little something most days.  All the postings I have made are my writings, so thank you to those of you that have given me such positive feedback.  Thank you for your kindness.

But always keep a little bit of hope in your heart ….and as you begin to build your life again….that hope will be the making of you.
