Spoonful #54: HOPE

When gripped by unprecedented fears, we can all benefit from a spoonful filled with hope and positivity. This post is especially short and sweet, and I hope it brings you a measure of comfort.



HOPE
(def.) = a strong desire for a favorable outcome

​Synonyms for HIGH HOPES:

ASPIRATIONS, DESIRES, WISHES, AIMS, GOALS, DREAMS

Synonyms for a life FILLED WITH HOPE:

HOPEFULNESS, OPTIMISM, EXPECTATION, FAITH, BELIEF, PROMISE

What are your aspirations, desires, wishes, aims, goals, and dreams? Use some of this time at home to identify and take positive steps toward achieving them, no matter how small. I advise setting at least one goal you can accomplish from home. Mine is to reach out to far away family and friends, one per day. Another goal is to take a family walk at least once per day (I know our boxer will appreciate that). What are your goals? 
​
Please accept my strongest hopes for your continued health and safety during this immensely trying time. 

Sincerely,
Laura Fineberg Cooper

Sending best wishes for your continued health and safety, too, Laura. Hope our world will somehow come out all the stronger after we get through this awful pandemic.

Dear Marcia,
Thank you so much! I share your hope that the world will come out stronger (and more cohesive) after this ordeal is over. Stay safe, my friend.

What a thoughtful topic for this spoonful! May I request a review of ellipsis in a future spoonful? Thank you!

    Welcome to
    ​A Spoonful of Grammar!

    Swallowing too many grammar rules at once can be hazardous to one's health. That's why my goal is to deliver one spoonful at a time - in the most delightful way.
