Hope's Journal 2026

[Hope67]

I really wanted to pop in on 26th July, because it's one of those great dates that begin and end with the same number.  Anyway, I am here on 29th July instead.  I have been feeling quite lethargic today - but I have also noticed that things are processing in the back-ground, and I am thinking that it would be good to consider maybe some intentions for the month of August, as that is fast approaching.  Actually I think I feel as if I'm 'wilting' today - so maybe it's down to the heat-wave.  I'm managing to keep relatively cool though.  I haven't ventured outside at all today - keeping in the coolest parts of the house.  Feelings slightly hermit-like, but that's okay.

it's ok, indeed, hope.  whatever it takes to get thru this heat is what's best for you.  i hope you get relief soon. i wilt in the heat as well. love and hugs

I agree, it is okay.  I agree with wilting in the heat as well.

I relate to being hermit-like also.

Hi SanMagic & Zen_Racer,
Thank you for what you each wrote.

5th August 2026
So, August is here - still hot.  I found I couldn't write much here for the past days - although I did pop in to read things.  I know that there was a part of me that was reluctant for me to write anything, and I heeded that caution. 

Interesting that as I am thinking about writing something just now, I have that sense of caution again.  I think I'll heed it.

Hi Hope,
A martial arts teacher taught me, "Sure, listen to your gut instinct"...
But more important, he said, "Heed it. Act accordingly."

Your journal entry inspires me.
