A thrill of hope is a lyric from the classic Christmas Carole " O Holy Night".  These words evoke a lot of emotion in me.  In this episode, these words provide inspiration for examples of how I have experienced a "thrill of hope" in my single life.
The easiest example is in dating... I've met several men that have thrilled me with potential... unfortunately, that initial excitement has often waned quickly as one or both of us were distracted by someone else, lost interest, or saw the dreaded "flags". 
Perhaps the greatest example of a "thrill of hope" is for a do-over. I find being single incredibly liberating and exciting! We can do whatever we want (within reason) without consulting another adult. Our futures are wide open.  We don't have to have a plan. We don't have to wait to find a partner to live our dreams.
I hope you find yourself with some time on your hands during this holiday season to mull over your future in an optimistic and exciting way.  
Merry Christmas to my beloved podcast listeners!
