Yes , grieving expectations isn't easy. My expectations 10 years ago when I moved here was to fence my farm & bring my horse here to be with me. Finances fell apart & the move was actually my leaving a bad marriage & still waiting at afford to get the divorce.

The one thing I found about not having expectations happen as planned & having to wait....it has definitely developed my patience & skills of accepting things the way they are & not the way I wish they were.

It's NOT EASY....but anything good is worth waiting for & will work out when the time is right, keeping an analytical eye open along the way for possible need for change in plans. I am finally getting my horse here this summer. Worth the wait.
