In regards to what SHOULD happen (or expectations) - I'm trying to have an attitude of who knows? what's going to happen and isn't like an amazing mystery?!
Maybe I'll be swept away in an exciting romance, maybe I'll move to another country, maybe I'll have an incredible adventure I never would have had married to H, maybe we'll have a true and deep love and live happily ever after.
Okay it's total bs and tough to practice, but when I remind myself to be curious about the future instead of WHEN is this going to be over... it helps me change my thinking in the moment.
