## What is HopeBucket?

HopeBucket is a simple daily practice for cultivating hope in your life. 
Each day, you get a fresh bucket to fill with things that give you hope like moments of gratitude, people who inspire you, actions you've taken, or events you're looking forward to. 

Choose from thoughtful prompts to get started or write hope items from scratch. Save quotes that inspire hope and help with perspective. Copy quotes and share. Once your bucket is full, take a screenshot and share your list with friends, family, or anyone who could use a little hope.
