after a disappointment

I raise up my hopes
unknown, even to myself,
felled twice, rising thrice . . .

  1. I noticed a pattern for myself today. In this case it was looking for health insurance for my family.
    I had started to really count on one potential outcome. Logically I knew and was telling myself that there was no reasonable guarantee of it coming through. It wasn't until after it had been knocked out from under me that I was able to admit to myself how much I had emotionally counted on that little "un-hatched chicken."
    Now, before the day is even over I find myself with exultant expectations for the next plan, which only has marginally better chances of fruition. It seems to be one of those things that I do a lot while telling myself not to. (another example of which would be staying up this late)
