Day 76: There's no place like hope.

The title of this post is actually the title of a book that I ran across this morning in my aunt and uncle's house. It's a book about fighting cancer, which doesn't pertain to me, but the title really resonated with me. "There's no place like hope." It's so simple that we (at least, I) never stop to think about it.

So along with gratitude, I'm determined to start practicing more hope.

Things I'm grateful for include:

• running across that book.
• my aunt finding scraps of my grandmother's wedding dress (as well as the entire intact dress). There are enough scraps of fabric to make something out of for my younger cousin and me, if we ever decide to get married.
• friends who let me freak out over stupid stuff because it's easier than freaking out over the big stuff.
• having plans to go out tonight.
• the prospect of Con Con in February.
