I wanted this to be something meaningful, so all day, I waited. Waited for something to make me break wide with smile. No pressure, right?

I had some homework to catch up on and while there were some ‘aha’ moments, and moments of realization, nothing made me smile wide. Facebook memories were cute, as were the scrolls, but nothing. Took the kid to an appointment and the drive was frustrating! Stopped for a snack, chatted a bit, got 2 out of 3 green properties on their Monopoly game, but still no big grins.

I went and spent the afternoon and evening with my Mom. We watched the Toronto Blue Jays play the New York Yankees in the ALDS! The Jays were up 2 nil in the series. They had the opportunity to sweep the series! By the mid third, they were up 6 to 1 – would this be my moment?

No. They lost the game 9 to 6.

So, I am now six minutes to midnight without a big smile moment. I’ve had a couple grins and the day wasn’t miserable by any stretch. But I was looking for one of those ear to ear, cheek hurt grins – and I didn’t get it.

This was either an expectation issues, which it may totally be, or a case of I didn’t look in the right places. Both are acceptable and I don’t look at today as a failure, it is just one of those things. I had an expectation that I set for myself that I should have looked at earlier in the day and evaluated the merit of it. Instead of waiting until the end of the day and thinking I didn’t make it. Let’s hope I can take this information with me into tomorrow. ❤
