One of my favorite romantic movies is "You've Got Mail" featuring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. The on screen chemistry between the two is amazing, and the story is very well written. Today I am reminded of one particular scene in the movie. It is the scene where Meg Ryan's character meets up with her then boyfriend (Greg Kinnear) and they come to the realization that they both do not love each other. Kinnear's character admits to desiring the news reporter lady, and then he asks Ryan's character if she has any prospective gentlemen worth pursuing. I think her response is one of the best lines in the whole movie. She states "No. No, I don't. But I have the hope of someone out there somewhere."
And that is where I am at today. Only my feeling isn't involving a possible woman to love (I remember having that same feeling for so many years, but now I have that someone and she is amazing.) Today my feeling of hope is more for something in the future. Something more. Specifically, a job that I enjoy, find fulfillment with and feel appreciated in.
Right now none of these statements apply. So I hope. I hope for what I cannot know. I hope for what I want to do. I hope for where I want to be. I hope for a better time in the near future.
Sometimes all you can hang onto is hope...
