Disappointment

In the past few years, I have tried to use the philosophy of no expectations, no disappointments. I don’t do disappointment well, and always try to hide it, only to end up in tears and anger. For our anniversary this year, even though it was a milestone, I had no expectations other than what we had verbally planned out. David surprised me with a dozen roses. That was such a special moment for me, because I truly did not expect them, and would not have been disappointed if they had not been given.
However. 6 weeks later, as I reached another milestone — turning 50, I did have expectations, and I was disappointed. And I didn’t handle it well.
