I hijacked this piece of info from Grasshoppers thread, it was written by SventheRed

What I noticed in the rut was exactly what you are noticing - as we piece, we start to "expect" things which might lead to disappointment - which shows on our face and in our moods. I know I jettisoned that (though it took a 2x4 to the head back in say November) and instead reminded myself to give love unconditionally and lose the expectations. A tough feat, but I think worth the effort. I think our S's can sense the feeling of let down and can become bitter. In their mind, they are giving all they can but it never seems enough.




I am going to have this tatooed into my brain.

I am also going to say farewell to this board, at least for a while anyway. I anxiously await the virtual pat on the back or someone to give me the magic answer only to be dissappointed as all of my board friends have seemed to have disappeared.

Thanks to all of you that have been following me this past year and encouraging me along the way, I wish you the best and a Happy New Year!
