Sad to be missing it, but I’ll be here in spirit! Up the Arsenal!

Hope is not the expectation that someday things will improve because that's simply part of the plan, or how things are "supposed" to work.
Hope is a practice, it is an activity, it is hard work. Hope requires continuing in what you know to be right, even if you see no result. It has no expectation
