Thanks for the suggestion but I disagree, Dinah, at least for me. Lowered expectations aren't the key to happiness, more so the key to not being disappointed or disillusioned. Happiness for me comes from other sources & yes, I do experience wonderful happiness, though not continuously, of course. But I do underatnd what you mean by not hoping for too much.
I received a very good suggestion from someone I value highly. Don't mean to sound sarcastic but I think rather than having lowered expectations, it's better that I have none at all. Very cynical perhaps, but better in the long run & much more realistic.
