Anti-Expectations

Break out the champagne Roll out the red carpet This is going to be glorious Soon to be hearing trumpets Excitement eagerly building Anticipation anxiously awaits Soon the suspense will be put to rest Hoping hopefulness translates Forecasting future happiness Projection primed for perfection Not allowing for deviation In reality it can go any direction Impossible to predict the end result Time to put down the crystal ball Better to back off on assumptions Easing up on expectations big and small Antidote is taking comfort in any outcome Loosening up the reins on speculation No longer jumping to conclusions Removing conjecture from the calculation
