Anticipation The hardest thing I find about anticipating something (at least for me) is the almost inevitable let-down when the thing you are anticipating either doesn't happen, or doesn't work out like you thought it would (not necessarily in a good way). To me, it seems like that is slowly becoming the predominant theme in my life this last year. I am sure that things are probably not as extreme as I say, and that my apparently prolific ability to focus on the pessimistic side of life is contributing a great deal to this problem of mine. I try hard to stay positive, but it doesn't always work.

I wish that the things I anticipate and get all excited about would actually happen the way they are supposed to once in a while. Is that so much to ask for?
