CHOOSE: TO HOPE

I hope to be back within a bit to finish this. "Hope" in my intro sentence is a verb meaning that I "intend, if possible, to do something."
Regardless, that was an unfulfilled expectation/hope for me. Four days is more than "a bit of time."

Earlier today, I passed a house under construction,  and I assume that the prospective owners "hope" (verb) to move in doing the Christmas season----at least that must be what they want to happen. Unsure optimism at its peak!

At night the wreath is even lit and blinks to passer-bys.
Their hope (noun) is synonymous with desired expectation. But their hope seems unlikely.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick. (Proverbs 13:12) Hopefully, (adverb) this seasonal display was more  tongue-in-cheek in cheek. Just a whimsical way for a family to exaggerate their plight!

I choose to hope they will be moved-in sooner or at least in timely manner and to be grateful for their acceptance of the delays and sharing it with us who pass by.
