Lowering your expectations does make it easier to deal with more things, but higher expectations mean that you don't have to compromise. Balancing the two? Well that's ideal but impossible. At least for me it has been.Yo-yo Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762060756925882704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918275.post-56966632788182747592009-12-28T18:17:27.341-08:002009-12-28T18:17:27.341-08:00Wow.

Most of the people I know who have come the farthest in life were NOT in the "in" group in High School.<br /><br />You are an amazing person. You are a fantastic daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend AND nurse. Don't let some vague comments get you down. You know you do a great job; your patients and their families know that too.<br /><br />I'm coming to learn that the deep friendships, although they may be few and far between, weather the storms of life much better than the more casual ones. And when shit hits the fan, I'm blessed to have you standing there to hold my hand, offering words of support.<br /><br />Love you!Plant Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471946317376166507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16918275.post-21732715101219941692009-12-27T09:47:07.465-08:002009-12-27T09:47:07.465-08:00Expect less and you will not be disappointed in th...Expect less and you will not be disappointed in the end. I always have "high" expectations and have recently lowered the bar, as an attempt to not be disappointed by others or have them disappointed in me.<br /><br />Overall, I am trying to not sweat the SMALL stuff, as most of life's issues are just that, small and so trivial in the grand scheme of things.<br /><br />Be good to you!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709001842788289402noreply@blogger.com
