I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your post about anger and expectations. I really needed that reminder tonight.

My husband has managed to crawl into bed fully dressed, complete with muddy shoes!

I have always expected a person to at least take their muddy shoes off before getting into bed, but I guess I have some more work to do on managing my expectations.

I'm going to be sleeping on the sofa tonight. But first I'm going to do a little meditation using a package of dark chocolate brownies as my focus.

Guess what I'm having for breakfast in the morning?

There, I feel better already.

Thanks again.
