Great Expectations: No Expectations--the difference

When you expect nothing...you are never disappointed...for that is what you get...and in the disappointment you can be consoled by prayer that by destroying all the idols of inspiration to be your best..you have been left with the rest...and that is as it should be. And what you did not get was not a loss because you never dreamed of getting it.

"Rigor Mortis"

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting my relatives in Florida in February---and immediately noticed that my walks became more spirited...and even ran a bit like the good old days...in fact my hands that were cracked from the cold of the frozen tundra seemed to cure instantly... On my return, I mentioned this power of flexibility in a weight group I was attending.... One woman sitting beside me said: "It is not just stiffness of body, but stiffness of mind that is the problem...I am coping with ageing relatives that know everything, been there done that about virtually every element of life..and I vow to be different..I vow to be alive, not dead in my later years"

Nostalgia:2008

Saturday, May 10, 2008 Analysis: "The Reverse Empty Nest Syndrome---the theory" As the first born of three children, I spent little time wondering about how my parents were coping with the empty nest. As the time approaches for our family to face the empty nest however, I have begun to review the many articles on this syndrome. In a cursory glance of all the stuff that has been written....I have concluded that much of it no longer applies---here is why. Nowdays, it is far more prevelant that the kids are moving home with their kids, and in fact....the parents are looking for hotel rooms so they can have a getaway weekend for two. Thus----there is in fact NO empty nest syndrome. It is a myth of the past like the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
