I created this for an Illustration Friday. That week's topic: "Red." I renamed it "Hope" because that's what the red balloon represents for me in this illustration.

It's also a reminder to myself, to not wallow too long (*some* is allowed under certain circumstances :-)) in self-pity and misery when things get bad, to focus on the good stuff. And though it may not be too evident at times, there is ALWAYS good stuff.
