Daily Dose of the Southwest: Hope Breaks Through

Today feels like a day where we all need a little hope.

If you’re like me, your mind goes to some dark places upon hearing the day’s news of late. And so the need for hope.

Is it cliche to choose a sunrise image in this case? Well, if it is, I don’t care. It makes me hopeful, and that’s good enough.

By the way, is from the one and only sunrise I’ve seen at the Mittens overlook. I got pretty damn lucky. Great clouds, colorful colors (redundant, but I also don’t care), the sun acting out a Beatles song while the Mittens act out one of my favorite emojis 🙌🏼

Sometimes it takes a little luck to find the hope.
