hope and expectations?

Example: Our 15th wedding anniversary is coming up in about 6 weeks. I would really love to be with H then in some capacity or other. Whether it's a movie on the couch, a date, a walk on the beach with the kidlet, a casual lunch - or even pleasepleaseplease, a super romantic dinner date for just the two of us.

(And yeah, I know that last one is pure fantasy-land, so like, while I'm at it, can I have a pony, too? I'd probably be moved to tears if I could even just hold his hand.)

How do you folks handle all of these hopes/dreams/desires in the context of your day-to-day sitch and DBing? I think I'm getting the massage that hope is ok but expectations aren't? So how does one actually DO that? And how do you act-as-if and not fall into the trap that everything will go just like you want it?


The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.
