Every morning I get out of bed before my alarm goes off.

It's hard to fall asleep and harder to fall back asleep these days.  My mind is restless at night.

"I've been so much happier since I lowered my expectations," a friend of mine said.  Is that really true?  It sounds awful, but sometimes it does seem true.  But I would hate for it to be true.  Happiness is a choice... so I believe that you can choose to be happy even with the highest expectations for your life.
