"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'" - John Greenleaf Whittier
Sometimes life is... well... disappointing. We sit down for a great 5-star meal and get served stale crackers and warm beer. What happened? It SHOULDN'T be this way! But it is.
Oftentimes we make choices that, through no fault of our own, lead not to some promised land, but in the opposite direction from it. And, often, by the time we realize it, we can't even see our glorious destination, it is so far over the horizon.
1Dream lost! So what do we do now? Let go? Settle? Reframe? And my personal favorite, be realistic?
