About the graphic

I found this Pixabay photo on Pexels. It was a perfect match for the Christopher Reeve quote I love.

About the quote

Christopher Reeve was the star of the 1978 version of the Superman and subsequent sequels. But he wanted to do more substantive work, which he did as well as direct and write. In 1995 he suffered a spinal injury in an equestrian competition and he and his wife became major advocates for spinal cord injury victims.

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, now run by their children, is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information, and advocacy.

Read more about this amazing real life Superman here. Once you know more about him, you’ll see he never gave up choosing instead to hope.

Hope leads to possibilities. We should always choose hope.

About the graphic

The background is a photo by NEOSiAM 2020 I found on Pexels, a great website for free graphics.

The dark rolling clouds depict what I feel most days while sheltering-in-place during this dark COVID19 pandemic.

About the quote

Desmund Tutu is a South African Anglican cleric and theologian. In 1986 he received the Nobel Prize for Peace for his role in opposition to apartheid. In 2009 he was awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom. His life has been about peace and hope and truth.

This quote seemed a perfect fit for the photo. The white light represents the hope and peace Tutu taught.

Personally I need to look on that circle of light (hope) and pray it grows wider. How about you?

On Monday, I blogged about my hope of summer’s arrival and how encouraged I was when the only daffodil of the fifty bulbs I planted last fall came up.

Today I offer this wonderful quote from Anne Lamott to encourage you to continue to hope for whatever you’re seeking.
