Day 4350: Better Than Expected

As I discussed with my like-minded in-laws yesterday during Thanksgiving get-togethers, I really hope the future turns out better than expected. It very well might, because our expectations are very low right now.

As my husband Michael says, “It’s never what you expect,” so why not focus on the things that turn out better than expected instead of the negative? For example, our adopted cat Joan, who had unexpected medical issues which resisted treatment for many months, turned out better than expected. My health also turned out better than expected: despite being born with a rare and serious heart problem, I’m still working full-time and loving my work at age 71!

Do you see anything that’s better than expected in my images for today?

Because the USA election did not turn out better than expected, I’ve also been talking a lot of shit and crying. Yesterday morning, I cried when I watched the Muppet Movie and the evil, greedy oil billionaire villain almost won. I really don’t understand how people can recognize villains in movies but not in real life.

Here’s what I find when I look for “better than expected” on YouTube.

That video was even better than I expected and I hope that you watch it.

Day 4152: Expectations

My expectations about my upcoming concert/live album taping keep changing. Actually, I am trying to let go of expectations in order to stay in the moment and enjoy the process, no matter who shows up and how it all goes.

Do you have expectations about this blog post and do you see expectations in my images for today?
