Give us this bread, our daily toil

I often wonder
about the link between
expectations and disappointment

I rarely expect
and therefore
am rarely disappointed

but sometimes
it is good to expect
for it do not expect
you will never receive

I always
have expectations
of myself

usually pretty high ones

like most people
I don't give myself
one-tenth the slack
I give other people

but really
what I am wondering
is this

what can I expect from her?

the ethereal her



(btw this is not that post, that will come later, but soon too *smiles* )

Optimist in spirit, pessimist in action.

Ding!

*grin*
you get a gold star!

although I prefer to term it

Plan like you will live forever
Live like you will die tomorrow

(to call it pessamistic in action, seems more negative than I like, which of course doesnt affect the overall truth which it hold but just my fancy, I suppose)
