I think I'm beginning to master this No Expectations thing. I never thought I would; in fact, a couple of years ago I'd never heard of the idea. At that point you could've called me a master of Expectations. Anytime something new was on the horizon I'd spend as much time as I had to wait trying to imagine -- usually in detail -- what it would be

I find when I've nearly talked myself out of doing something I suspect will be great and positive but am feeling dubious or lazy about, once I get there the most amazing things happen.

Letting go of expectations is hard and always something to work on. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, it's almost like the fewer expectations the more amazing. And "amazing" was one word I considered to describe the result this time but dismissed it as inadequate.
