I get disappointed a lot...

[moparedtn]

Every day when I wake up, I hope beyond logic for some of this bucket full of pain to ease up some,
just for a while...
I get disappointed a lot.

Every day when I read the news, I look/hope for reasons to be optimistic about this world,
this country, this county...
I get disappointed a lot.

Every day as I go all over Gods' creation, I always expect everyone to be good people - friendly.
Kindred souls, polite and courteous.
I get disappointed a lot....

Every day I expect myself to be the same, not just because it's a good way to be in this world,
but because it's the right thing to do and it helps the drudgery of the day pass by easier.
Well, to be honest...
I get disappointed a lot there, too.

Every day I expect those few I've actually allowed into my ring of trust to have my back, just as
I have committed to having theirs.
I have been SEVERELY disappointed there, more than a few times, too.

All this doesn't mean I won't get up tomorrow morning looking for the same dang things....
because there's no point to the whole "living" exercise if I don't - and mama raised me properly, too.
So yeah, I've gotten used to disappointment in this life - because I understand it's par for the course.

The key to happiness is low expectations.

My dad used to say.... "There's only two people I trust, and that's myself and your mother, and I'm not too sure about her."

Go to bed expecting to be disappointed in the morning and all will be good.

Oh yeah, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Man, someone should write a song about that.

We all go through our lives often unaware of the troubles that offers are living with.
I don’t know Ed well but he sure doesn’t seem like the type to wallow in self pity so there is something more going on here.
I do know that pain and stress can affect your mood and outlook.
I hope that it is simple and treatable as that.
