Focus on Life - Week 19

Hope - Week 19

“If you feel you know how to get what you want out of life, and you have that desire to make that happen, then you have hope,”

~Jennifer Cheavens


Wow, this weeks prompt is an interesting one.

When I think of hope I naturally think about the future, and that always leads me to think about my kids. I've always felt that as a parent it's my job to ensure that my children's hopes for their future have the greatest possibility of being fulfilled.


Focus on Life, week 19, Hope,
My daughters - my hope for the future


These are my daughters, April (the eldest on the left) and Sara (youngest, on the right). I took this photo at their joint birthdays (born 5 years and one week apart), there is a pair of yummy chocolate cakes just out of shot, one a dragon and the other an owl.


April is a first year at university studying music (piano and musicology) and is hoping to add a second degree to that next year. Sara is in her second year of high school (year nine here in Australia), plays guitar and loves drawing and design. Although both are creative, April is organised, responsible and introverted where Sara is extroverted, impulsive and has a wicked sense of humor. I think they balance each other out.


These two girls are my hopes and dreams for the future.
