Hoping for the Best

The bumper stickers of my youth are now window films or decals, but they still have the power to make me stop and think. One of my recent favorites I saw on a parked car while walking the dogs. Here’s what it said:

Hope Something Good Happens to You Today

To me, this is the equivalent of blessing someone, offering a desire for them to flourish. Rather than regarding blessings as limited or scarce, this saying tells me there’s plenty of good to go around. And even more importantly, that good is wished for others without them doing anything to earn it. The only requirement is to read the window decal and know that someone believes that there is enough good to go around. Well, that makes two of us.
