Sunny Naples, FL

Having had lots of time to think as I drove the 1700 miles from Hartford, NY to Naples via Lutz, FL where I picked up a borrowed motor coach to use as our base home here at Lake San Marino for two weeks, I want to write about expectations. Recently, I have had discussion with others on expectations concerning relationships. I have an old friend who is a wise man indeed. He said to me numerous times, "Expectations are resentments waiting to happen". How right on he is but still there are certain expectations that I think hold relationships together. Trustworthyness, honor, respect, faith are some that come to mind. Love is too fickle to be a reliable expectation. Physical attributes and actions are certainly not important over the long haul.
