Today's challenge

Sometimes I react strangely to good news, and it happened today. Fortunately, I now recognize this odd reaction more quickly and adjust my perspective. Whew. What a relief.

I'm learning that even positive experiences today can trigger strong feelings related to past disappointments or hurts.

As I've written before, some of the hurt and disappointment I felt in the past likely was a result of my unrealistic expectations. I'm making progress on adjusting my expectations.

Today's experience tells me I still may have more feelings from the past to deal with. I'm hopeful that doing so will be easier with awareness of the process.
