Tim, we're becoming Abbott & Costello! I didn't say anything concerning "preparing for the best", lol.

One thing I am trying is to keep the hope alive, and remaing positive. This sometimes gives me unreal expectations because you dream of something better!

That's one of the reasons I find "hope" to be a tricky thing. There are variances of hope, some are good, some not.

sometimes others opinions can influence how you are thinking good or bad! We all have to be open minded and mature about what we read here

Opinions can influence if you're not sure, or enhance if you are.

In a perfect world, we'd all be mature about what we read here, but in a perfect world, we wouldn't be here. In this imperfect world, we're dealing with many, many different levels of maturity and immatirity, emotions and thinking.
