What's Happening?
Aimee graduated from Spencer High School in 1994, and then moved to a
large city on the west coast. She returned to Spencer in 2007. Aimee
spent more than a decade in veterinary medicine and dog training, and
now works in a public library. She lives with her husband, daughter,
two dogs, and a cat.
What gives you hope?

Sometimes it's hard to stay positive. Life gets you down in various ways. Shorter days often give people the blues. This upcoming holiday storm probably has people fretting that their holiday plans and visits with loved ones will be cancelled.
I found a website that helps chase the blues away: GivesMeHope
I don't think that it's possible to read the stories on there and not feel better. The anecdotes range from small acts of kindness to those to risked their lives to help somebody else.
So, what gives you hope?
