35 Days of Hope

[Keepingthefaith21]

As the holiday’s are quickly approaching, many of us LIW’s seem to be hanging onto the thought that maybe it will happen for us (and by god I hope it does!). Right now, I have to tell you all that I am beginning what I have called 35 Days of Hope. Today marks the beginning of my SO's 5 week leave from work. For the past year when I’ve been questioned as to when I think my SO is going to propose, this is the time period I guessed it would happen during. Now, I realize that I am probably setting myself up for disappointment but, I’m hopeful that before the close of his 5 weeks off, we’ll be engaged.

If it doesn’t happen then I will continue on as a very proud LIW. For now, I’m going to let myself hope for the next 35 days. I usually never let myself hope for things like this but I’ve decided that maybe it’s okay to hope, even if it’s for a measly 35 days out of the year. Besides, hoping keeps my mind off the mess he is probably making in our house all day

I know there are a few distractions on the horizon as well…um the Red Sox making it to the World Series is one giant distraction

. We are talking about adopting a kitten to join our fur-family and that will also be a distraction

. So, I’m not going to be sitting around focusing only on the fact that I think it may happen, I’m not going to get obsessed. I’m just going to allow myself to hope that maybe, maybe, maybe in the next 35 days, I can say it’s my turn.

Go ahead and hope! We will be keeping our fingers crossed. You are right, you can afford to daydream for 35 days of the year! I find that sometimes if life is too tough and work is getting me down, there is nothing like a bit of daydreaming to make me feel better. We will be sending fairy dust your way!!
