I’m not a writer nor a professional blogger. And to be honest, I don’t really desire to be.

This is just my piece of the world where I can say my thoughts and share what lesson’s I’ve learned through my, above average, mistakes.

I’m not a guru, teacher, or wise one. I’m just a fellow human in this big, and at sometimes small, world on my journey. I’m simply a fellow traveler and I hope we can share a mere moment of this journey together.

The past year has been an incredibly though one for me. I’ve lost my family through an unpleasant divorce. Had troubles and problems professionally at work. And have trudged along the dark valley of depression. Getting lost in my own darkness with no hope of ever seeing the light again.

However, I’ve recently saw a speck and sparkle, though off in the distance. A small flickering of a sprite. I have named it, Hope.

My Hope is yet small, but it seems that observing it has caused my trudging into more of a purposeful gait. Through its light, I’ve seen a bit of the horizon. I was so lost in my own self for so long that I had not realized the valley was not an endless trek but simply a dark hole I was walking around and around in.

I’ve started to climb out and realized I was not here alone. There are others, fellow travelers, that also need to see my hope. By noticing you, I’ve noticed that my Hope has grown just a little more.

I hope we can climb out of this together and reach the end of this valley. The sky has suddenly grown a little less dark, a little less cold. I think we will get through this.
