I don't know why I ever thought it so impossible to stay in gratitude and out of expectation. Recent tests of my capacities in this regard have gone smashingly. It's only recognition of my inclination to complacent hubris at the first sign of success, that's keeping me from throwing caution completely to the wind.
Soon enough, though.

I personally get a red flag when I find myself thinking I can or have utterly banished some aspect of my psyche that I perceive as damaging. Yes, I can make huge strides, but I try to remember that all the work is not for nought if I fall into old patterns sometimes.

Wow, that sounds like a wet blanket on your enthusiasm. Let me rephrase:

Rock! I'm so glad you are finding you can shift your thinking and find more peace. Strive for perfection but recognize it is a carrot (carrot? bah! it is the bordeaux) that hangs before us and keeps moving us forward. Let's run with the bordeaux thing... it keeps spilling drops on our waiting tongue but the bottle must ever be ahead and not in our hands.

BLOCK THAT METAPHOR!
