for the one who is hopeful

this is lifted from my friend deb's blog. classifieds of what she hopes to find. i love how she's so hopeful. sometimes when im the only one who's up i wonder how it would feel to be hopeful too - or rather, again.

----------------------------------------

The Classifieds
Good-natured, and morally upright
Emotionally truthful, demonstrative and secure
Wise, decisive and perceptive
Eager to experience new things, or re-experience things in a new light
Kind to animals, to kids and to the environment
Respects children, women, and elders
Relentlessly hope-filled
Committed to God and to a life of love
With a deep personal relationship with God, and with family
Always mindful of one’s own health and well-being
In control of his words, and his silences
Sincere verbally and non-verbally
Open and trusting of one’s past
Passionate over aspirations, and over the attraction to someone special
Steadily improving oneself through learning
Capable of always making people feel special
With enough similarities to be comforting,
with enough differences to be interesting,
With enough mystery to be pleasantly refreshing/surprising.
A reflection of a better version of myself
A complement for the good version that is myself
A reason to be the best version of myself
Promise-keeper


------------------------------------------
i used to have my own classifieds as well. but mine was mistakenly patterned or rather - lifted from someone who turned out to be more human than i had thought. and so maybe, some time in the future i will have a different version of the classifieds again. when i begin believing that he exists. but for now, i honor those who never stopped believing. like deb.
