Anticipation is worse

[SueBeeSue]

Well Ive just finished day 1 of my weekend away. I was quite worried as those who read my earlier blog will know. Thanks to everyone for their kind replies. All the travel plans went well and hotel is nice. The festival has been fun. What I did find useful is having a back out plan just in case. do others do that? My therapist suggested it.

Ive come to the conclusion the anticipation is often so much worse than the event itself. I guess Im always thinking of what could go wrong, or maybe just not knowing and the uncertainty is the problem.

Oh well, heres hoping day 2 goes as well. Fingers crossed.

Hope you all have a good weekend. Sue xx

Hiya

Yes I always have a blackout plan, it's a great help. Glad it's going well for you. Well done...and it's so true the anticipation is always far worse for us than the event itself..

Enjoy your weekend!

Hi Suzie. Yeh looking good. Im real charity shop fanatic and theres a new one opened up just a stones throw from the hotel (must have known I was coming ha ha). So assuming I get out of there sometime before the festival ends Im looking forward to another day of it. You enjoy your Saturday. Sue xx

thanks for sharing, my back out plans are usually not going the first place; it's inspiring to read your blog.

I must start to look at designing my back out plan, I get married later this year and dearly want to have a weekend away.

Have a great time

Sue

Thanks Sue. Just knowing the back out is there is usually enough for me to give something a go. I hope you get your weekend away. Sue xx
