My thought for today is Expectations. Expectations are what we believe will happen, or what should happen. Sometimes I place expectations upon people to behave in a certain way. I don't tell them what these expectations are because they should know right. Being human they are fallible and often fail to live up to my expectations. This disappoints me and, since they did not know of the expectation to begin with, because they cannot read my mind, then they do not know they have disppointed me and so they do not apologize. The disappointment turns into resentment, and really none of this is their fault because the expectation was something I placed upon them which I did not communicate to them. In order to remain happy, I can either better communicate what my expectations are or not to have any in the first place.
