I still wanna love you, Johnny! |
While I think its important to rationalize things it's equally important to feel good when something good happens; Nothing wrong with getting excited just like when we get excited when the Flames make the playoffs, and disappointed if they get knocked off.
For example our kids might be excited at something they are doing in their favorite game, sports or at school but being over protective can make it so they don't want to try things. People learn from experience and most people here on CP have experienced so many ups and downs and they want to be excited!! Let them.., most of us would rather excited and disappointed rather than always being told to temper our feelings. Give us a little credit we can handle it and thanks for looking out for us and being concerned.
Looking at some of Johnny's plays in slow motion has me very excited, it has been one play after another! I logged in today to get the latest and left wondering how the heck Johnny made that play behind the net... Does anyone have a video of another player making that play!?
May I suggest you throw those tempered expectation away and have a little fun!
