I very much respect that. I'm so glad you've posted this blog so that I can hear how you are doing. I've missed your understanding and savvy and simpatico personality. I like your phrase "my newly enlivened Expectations are significantly smaller and gentler." Gentle as she goes, when the ship is in rough waters. Gentle can help self-affirmation, which is essential.<br /><br />Now that I'm retired, I'm trying to shift my goals from "production" to "interesting and fun discoveries." Also "quality time with people." It's not easy to get out of the Superego Town of self-criticism, but the world provides a cushion of friendly people, I believe, If I can just give the world a chance. My gentle father used to say, tongue-in-cheek, "I hope for the best. I always hope for the best." But it was also true!<br /><br />I'm still holding on to hope for FGS. I'd love to see you there.
