Ever had......

those things that you spend months planning...anticipating....and just waiting for the day to get here and it shows up and it just seems so extremely FLAT!  That "WOW" feeling never comes....the excitement that you were expecting to have never happens.....that you sit and ponder why you were so excited in the first place.......

I've had this happen several times lately......don't know if my expectations are just too HIGH or what it is but it has really affected my outlook and my mood....I'm wondering if there is something that I can do to not get so excited about things that are coming up.......maybe I'm just looking for that "perfect" thing and we all know that NOTHING is ever perfect......

I think that I will be spending some time re-evaluating what is important and what I need to spend my time doing.....maybe that will make the difference.....we will see!

I am definitely guilty of looking for the perfect thing. The same thing happens to me occasionally too. I think it's always a good thing to re-evaluate what is important. It helps put things back in perspective.

I sometimes think the anticipation can be the fun. Even if the event falls flat the rewards may be the people we meet during the anticipation period. If you can find a reason to laugh during the event or in the memory of it, that may be enough. Or, I'm just making crap up tonight!
Good luck, Leslie
