Thoughts on Hope

As we start this new cycle, I want to flood myself with positive thoughts. Sticking with our Hope theme, here are some inspirational quotes to reflect on over the next few weeks.
When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."~Author Unknown

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. ~Robert Ingersoll

Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark. ~George Iles

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. ~Christopher Reeve

Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them. ~Vincent McNabb

Love floods us with hope. ~Jareb Teague

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope. ~Edgar Howe

You've gotta have hope. Without hope life is meaningless. Without hope life is meaning less and less. ~Author Unknown

Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier. ~Author Unknown

Hope is but the dream of those who wake. ~Matthew Prior

Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. ~George Weinberg

Hope is patience with the lamp lit. ~Tertullian

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. ~Lin Yutang

So many really good ways to think about Hope and what it means to different people. I already have a couple of favorites.

Best of luck on cycle #2. My first cycle was horrible. I hyperstimulated, transferred 2 embryos and no embies made it to the freezer. I felt so horrible physically as well as emotionally that I did not know how I would do another cycle. However, during cycle #2, the meds were adjusted properly...and we got our BFP after 3 years TTC. May you get yours too.

DH bought me a plaque that hangs at the front of our house: Faith makes things possible, not easy.

Best wishes!!!
