Expectations, Part II
August 12, 2021
Nine years ago, I wrote a blog post about expectations. I was working full time, visiting our young grandchildren in Maryland as often as possible, taking care of a house, and more. I wrote then...
“So much of life is about expectations. Expect too much? A sure road to disappointment. Expect too little? Achieve too little. The trick is getting it right”.
Have my expectations come true? Well, my exercise and healthy eating paid off because I am still here. Peter had already been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and it continues to take a toll, but I expected that. I expected to hate retirement, but I’ve gotten used to it. My work was a huge part of my life, but I am busy enough, and even with Peter’s recent stroke (which I did not expect)…
Life is good.
You have a wonderful perspective and life is good.

I love your outlook in the midst of challenges, Judy, as well as what you shared about expecting too much or too little. So much of life boils down to that.
