Heart Of Gold

A friend came back from a trip with a story he was really excited about. But the story had an alternate interpretation, one much less exciting. As a friend, what do you do? Do you express skepticism, to try to soften the blow in case things turn out bad? Do you just share in the excitement, because they are happy about it, even if you think they may be making a mistake?

Being me, I chose to express skepticism. But once it struck home, that things may not have been the way he thought, I felt bad. Maybe I am just a spoilsport these days.

Although I did have a real happy moment today, driving home from the game, listening to music. So maybe I'm just getting back to regular skepticism levels.
