Hope….
is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life. Yes, that about sums it up for me, as I think about the hopes and dreams myDarlin’ and I had for the future.
As I checked in at one of our facilities, the guard asked me to sign the visitors log. Sheri Garza-Pope, I wrote and then asked myself, ‘just where are you visiting Sheri?’ Is it truly this facility at this moment in time, today a block on a wall calendar or simply a breath in this universe of ours. With pen in hand, she asked me my name, to which I replied, ‘Sheri Garza-Pope’ and she handed it to me. I read it, and almost told her she had it wrong – but on second thought realized it was another sign. And on the name tag was written the word, ‘HOPE’.
We set up for the shots and met wonderful associates who truly value being part of the Orange family. And as she asked me when they could see the results of the shoot, she was surprised, but then smiled as I was taking a photograph of a seemingly ordinary object. I showed her my view and she marveled at how something so ordinary would be so extraordinary. For the corner posts that repeat themselves over and over throughout the facility are merely arrows reminding us to ‘Keep Looking Up’.
Today I am filled with gratitude for hope as it springs eternal for me knowing that one day, soon or far, I will see myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope once again.
