More Expectations.

I was "in a mood". It is over. I realized that almost everything that I was dealing with was just an issue with me. I had expectations. 
 I have often, jokingly, said that I need to lower my expectations . I now realize how true that is! I have done it. The expectations are lowered and the mood is much better. What a simple fix!
 I know that this sounds like a downer, but think about it. I don't expect you to be my friend. If you are, that is grand. If not, okay. I don't expect you to want to do what I want to do. Control is overrated. 
I don't expect anything from you, so imagine my delight when I get something! I can't fix anyone, I can only attempt to fix me.
 Lowering my expectations has brought me more peace than I could have imagined. I have known, almost my entire life, that I am alone. I just forgot that for awhile. My soul got confused. I started to live in a dream world where I thought I could control things. WRONG! I forgot that we all have our own paths. I forgot that our paths cross and intermingle, but ultimately, we all have our own paths. I forgot that all I need to do is what I need to do. What I need to do is love. I finally remembered, God is love. We are love. I am here to love.
 Someone  once said, "love, even when you don't feel like it". I am striving to do that very thing.
