What can you do to protect your attitude from deep disappointment?
This is an important question to ask yourself now because so many situations feel like loss and disappointment. Begin by naming what is disappointing you.

Vacations not taken seems to be a big disappointment for many right now. The people who live in the place that you wanted to vacation are also not enjoying their place so much either. Will there be a next year to plan for? Will you ever get to go to Costa Rica and visit the rain forest? Or to the coast of North Carolina and experience the outer banks?

My new one is Up Town Funk – now that is a song you can bust a move to
