Hi Isaiah, so nice of you to stop by with your positive comment. Yes, I've always tried to be a "glass half-full" thinking person...it does help! Thanks for your visit, I really appreciate it. Sandra

great job, Sandra. I just saw another one very good but I think she did hers wrong. It was much shorter than yours so I guess she did not get the way to do the form. I really like your take on hope!
