In case you expected me to post today, here it is. I found this on the net and would like to share it with you.
In the course of living, many people are disappointed when others do not live up (or down) to their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These unrealistic and unhealthy expectations are three of the main culprits.
1. Do not EXPECT appreciation. When others say, "Thank you," or in any way show their gratitude, be happy. It is a gift!
2. Do not EXPECT others to make you happy. They simply cannot do that. Make yourself happy and share your joy with others.
3. Do not expect NOT to be let down. At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. Forgive them and move on. Get rid of these three expectations and you will be getting rid of daily disappointment!"

Especially number 3. After dealing with anti-gay fundies on AOL for several years, I learned one thing - "Never underestimate the depth of human stupidity!" ::ewg::
Also, I think having a sense of humor about oneself and life helps quite a bit.
