You know how you can get your hopes all up for a vacation, even daydreaming about specific details like the feelings you’ll have? Like when all your family members are sitting in the living room of your cabin sipping hot chocolate and laughing while the fire burns softly in the background and everyone is happily putting together a puzzle. Then when you actually arrive in the cabin you can’t figure out how to use the fireplace, your kids are not into puzzles and you forgot the hot chocolate. Reality can sometimes steal our joy if we’ve set up expectations in our minds for an ideal scenario.
