Hope in the Shower

This striking depiction of "Hope" was created by a young artist from Colorado, as part of the Lets Say Thanks Program for sending postcard greetings to troops overseas. There are so many patriotic scenes and hometown images to choose from, but this vivid minimalist landscape is my favorite.

A friend of mine once concluded a letter by writing that she needed to sign off for now and go "hope in the shower." Obviously, she meant " hop in the shower," but this was one of those little errors that seemed to make just as much or even more sense the incorrect way. When I pointed out her typo / Freudian slip, she wrote back to say, "You know, it's true! I do spend a lot of time hoping in the shower." Don't we all!
