Have you ever had anyone say to you, “my door is always open”? It may have been a colleague at work, or even your boss. You know the moment when you start a new job and a passing comment is said at the end.
“My door is always open.”

The lyrics to John Lenon’s song “How?” Will probably resonate to millions of people around the world. Although it was released in 1971, it is very much relevant today.
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way to turn
How can I go forward into something I’m not sure of
Oh no, oh no
How can I have feeling when I don’t know if it’s a feeling
How can I feel something if I just don’t know how to feel
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough
How can I give love when I don’t know what it is I’m giving
How can I give love when I just don’t know how to give
How can I give love when love is something I ain’t never had
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
You’ve got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough
How can we go forward when we don’t know which way we’re facing
How can we go forward when we don’t know which way to turn
How can we go forward into something we’re not sure of
Oh no, oh no
If only John Lennon knew the answer to all of his ‘hows’. The only answer I can give is God.
God knows which way you are facing.
God knows which way you can turn.
God knows how you can go forward.
God can give you love.
God knows what you are feeling and He is there when you have had enough.
When you feel like you are in a ‘how’ situation, turn to God for the answer.

The habit of thumb sucking is seen as quite innocent up until a certain age. After this, it is then seen as a sign of insecurity. Children suck their thumb to give them comfort.

I love the word, ‘hope’. Why? Because when you feel you have nothing left to cling onto, there is always hope.
Never lose hope.
Hope brings a positive expectation and a new confidence.
Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel. Michael Morpurgo
Hope
Hope is hanging on when times are tough,
Hope is finding good from something rough.
Hope is a little light when you’ve had enough,
Hope is what I need to get through stuff.
Hope is holding on to something real,
Hope is something that I want to feel.
Hope is what I need to help me heal,
Hope is what I need to break the seal.
Hope is what carries me along the way,
Hope helps me face the coming day.
Hope keeps hindering thoughts at bay,
Hope is what I need to help my past lay.
