The Shoemaker and the Groundhogs

It can be easy to develop high expectations for things you anticipate, for everything from birthday parties to vacations. But what happens when no one shows up to the party or you get a flat tire halfway to your beach house? Expectations can be broken, shattered, but that doesn’t always mean that life is over.
