Hope is the thing that is willing to take a chance on the future. Hope is the capacity to see something on the horizon that we are willing to move toward. If our hope gets us from today to tomorrow, and in that new day we are ready or able to deal with something we thought we couldn’t face, then hope has done its job. There is a worse thing than false hope. It is no hope.
For those of you who have been waiting (all two of you) - here are pictures of Mary's "new" room. The black paint on her closet doors is chalkboard paint -- kinda cool! The furniture and bedding are from Ikea.
Thank you for riding along with us on our journey.

Mary, your room looks great. I love the chalkboard paint. I might have to do that in the girls room.

I love Cincinnati Children's but the internet in the rooms stinks--very slow and trouble loading pictures. I'm sure the room looks awesome!!
I never would paint a room with red and red & white strips, but WOW, that really looks nice! Who's idea was this?
Cindy -- it was Mary's idea. The red is not fire engine red, it's a bit more subdued. We only did one wall all red. I was afraid it might be too much as well, but it really looks nice and is not too overpowering. Mary's room is also a good size, which helps too.
