Keep Hope Alive

As we travel the latter years of life, many of us become depressed, less optimistic and lose hope. Fight it!

Sure, it’s understandable to think that your “best years” are behind you, and you may be right. So what?

Your life is not over. Think of all that you can do. Volunteer. Visit old friends. Make new ones. Spend more time with family. Stop putting off doing things you’ve long wanted to do. Your life is still worth living.

That is what hope is all about.

And hope will keep you going in ways that seem surprising.

Not just your outlook will improve. Research shows hopeful people are physically better off than those who are not. You’ll be sick less often, have lower stress, and sleep better. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ll enjoy life more.
