All you need is Hope!
I found my mother in good spirits today, which is quite a change, since she hasn’t been well for some weeks now. The reason for this change - a doctor’s visit. As a rule we don’t believe much in doctors in this family, but the situation got to a point where she had to get what’s known as a family doctor. What we’re talking is a simple house-call, which obviously did not allow for any tests to asses the problems. Yet, this lady doctor manged to give her the exactly the sort of medicine she needed - Hope!
'We’ll get you back on your feet, not immediately, but still…’ - that sort of thing.
After just one day on the new treatment, my Mom decided there’s a definite improvement and the new pills are working. I didn’t point out it’s not a new treatment, but the same ingredients and same dosage but in two separate pills instead of the one she was taking. There is, of course, the placebo effect at work, but more important than that I think it’s the psychological effect - a certified doctor saying that yes, there’s hope for improvement. Which is completely different from friends and relatives being reassuring, because they’re not qualified in medical matters….
Sometimes, Hope is all we need to keep us going…

The other day, my little one saw me checking Coinmarketcap and wanted to know what is it that I’m making out of these cryptos. I wish I could’ve answered I’m making tons of money, but the only decent answer that came to me was that I’m getting hope… Since the current pump only involves Bitcoin at the moment, all I have is hope… The tiny BTC fraction I own is kinda useless unless Bitcoin goes to 1 million $… or at least $100,000. and we far away from seeing alts going to ATH…
But at least we can hope!
Yes! Let there always be hope. Good to hear your mother is feeling better, no matter the reason.
Rainy seasons come always, but if long term is up, it's all good.
Well, I'm looking at the markets, and I'm seeing bunch of read in the alts too. Though the 19% increase of value in Bitcoin in 7 days is more than many others. Though usually Bitcoin pumping follows soon with alts rising and then vice versa again. Though this is crypto where technical analysis and predictions are useless, so who knows whats gonna happen. I'm just keeping my head cool and following my plan to invest monthly a certain amount.
Nice to know your mom is doing better.
The only thing I have learned about Crypto is that Bitcoin sets the pace for all the other coins. 😏
I'm glad to hear your Mom was in better spirits. It's difficult when they get older. I hope you had a great Mother's Day!
