Yeh, No.2 has been a bit tricky for me over the last few years. I'm practising though. Thanks trlgs.

I like no 5. I remember my grandmother used to say to me (still does) that I should never expect anything, that way there is no disappointment.

Gee, and I thought the 5 essential ingrediants for happiness were:
1. Beer
2. Wine
3. Vodka
4. Whisky
5. Rum

No wonder I got it wrong.

LOl Croft.
I like # 5 because if you don't have expectations than you only live for yourself. But at the same time, I think I have a problem setting expectations too low and then getting shat on.
I used to live by the motto of no expectations, and really enjoyed it. I only lived my life based on what I expected from myself. But then I had a conversation with a guy I was dating. He told me we had to have expectations. We expect to not be abused. We expect to be respected etc. etc. To think of it, I think I have been screwed up ever since this conversation because I don't know what to expect!!!
