Hope is the thing with feathers...


Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
And sings a happy tune-without the words,
And never stops at all
-Emily Dickinson

This lovely quote was in the book I read today called "Feathers" by Jacqueline Woodson- a short, sweet story that I enjoyed. My favorite quote from the book is this: "each day holds its own memory-its own moments that we can write about later." "we should always look for the moments and some of them might be perfect, filled with light and hope and laughter. Moments that stay with us forever and ever."
I think it's funny that this is exactly what I have been thinking; but was more eloquently put in this book. There is always, always, always something to be grateful for!
