Hopes
So I am starting to realize that when you put something important and exciting with many ideas on how it is to go, it never happens. All those great thoughts about the time and what will happen Never happens. Sure they can come close but they never live up to the full potental. And every time that I had something new and exciting that I look forward to, it usually becomes a disaster and makes more stress on my family then I ever hoped would be. My parents really do want to do everythign they can for me and they will even go to Victoria and spend $200 just to get there but I don't understand why they would do that for me. I know they love me, but $200 dollars just for a soccer game really means a lot to me. Thanks parents it means the world. And I hopethat some day I can do the same for you. But for now there are more hopes to try and destress.

Jen,
you remind me of myself at your age. Involved in everything I could possibly put my shoulder to....
Please go easy on yourself.
Please remember that there are many disappointments in life --- a big one that smacks me in the face ALL the time is "expectations"....
The expectations I have of myself, the expectations I have of others.
When an expectation that I have of what another person has promised to me falls short, or is not on time, or is less than I imagined they were promising to me, the first impulse is to blame, get angry, stressed, mad. Meanwhile you have to also try to rein in your expectations from flying off all over---- and what a TALL order THAT is!!!!
A constant "reality check" has to happen, and it ain't smooth and lovely to incorporate, lots of time....
So, again, DO go easy on yourself.
Think a little bit about expectations -- one of my wisest friends taught me to face my expectations and see where they were OFF track, or WHY they got disappointed....
**Be Nice To Jen
