Looking Forward Part 2

Have you ever looked forward to something that you felt was rather special? Then, when you arrive at the destination, you get the feeling that the event will work out better than you’d hoped? Only to have it crash down around you, seemingly magnifying the disappointment?

I’ll volunteer that this has also happened to me recently. It’s bitter and its nasty, but I hope it serves a purpose – to be a little bit more restrained, to learn from what happened to minimise the emotional damage next time, to be incorporated into “experience” to make a better person.

I’m not enthusiastic enough to wish that it happens to all of us more often. Rather, may it be more palatable when it does.
