When you find yourself in a difficult situation, how do you handle it?  Do you just deal with it head on, or do you try to pretend the situation is not there and keep on keeping on?  Perhaps you scream, shout, cry and try to bargain with God and the universe to somehow get you out of the situation?

Recently, I found myself in what’s now becoming a frequent and familiar difficult situation.  That’s a mouthful but I think you get the point.  I wanted to shout and fight at the same time but I knew that would get me nowhere fast.  Instead, I thought I should try a new tactic.  I tried to get my thoughts on the situation out in a calm voice and not display too much emotion.  I think I was successful but again I found the responses were unsatisfying.  Very meh!  This disturbed and unfortunately continues to disturb me.

These last few days, I’ve pondered the situation and believe I’ve found the solution.  I have to change my perspective as well as lower my expectations!  My expectations are that the situation is as important to the other people involved as it is to me.  It’s that there will be a steady stream of conversation.  That discussions will be had and eventually agreed upon conclusions would be made.  Instead I get MEH!!!!!

So, I’m diving into figuring out exactly how to lower my expectations or even to have no expectations at all.  Keeping my peace is way more important!!!!
