Waiting on the other shoe to drop? Looking for the boogey man around the corner? Sucked in by talk of pending doom? Been there and done that. It comes down to expectations, in this case expecting the worst. Expecting the worst is born out a series of bad experiences in the form of loss. The shoe has dropped repeatedly, lost job, lost spouse/partner, lost possessions, even lost keys. What also was lost in stringing those types of events together is all the good stuff. Finding a childhood friend after many years, feeling pride at your child’s all “A” report card, making it home without hitting traffic and opening your eyes and breathing each day to experience all of it.
