Even in your darkest hours, hope is already working behind the scenes—waiting for the moment you refuse to quit.
“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.” ~ Anne Lamott
Reflection
Hope rarely announces itself with trumpets. More often, it flickers quietly in the darkness, asking only that we keep showing up. Anne Lamott reminds us that hope is stubborn—it refuses to quit even when the path feels hidden. Sometimes all we can do is take one small step, whisper one small prayer, do one small act of goodness. And then another. Dawn doesn’t rush, but it never fails to arrive. When we trust the process—waiting, watching, working—we become co-creators of our own light.
What is one moment in your life when staying the course led you to your own sunrise?
