never connected “great expectations” to assumptions, but of course it is all about that. i study the four agreements periodically, then, manage to forget, then remember, and so on, like a camera going in and out of focus. wouldn’t it be grand to always stay in the moment, without assumptions, not taking anything personally?
give you an example. a friend this week has a celebration for her new husband’s 40th. i hadn’t heard from her about the playtime and was sad not to be included. today i saw my phone text message where she had txtd to let me know. how ridiculous was that that i should even think about it? craziness, humaness, taking something personally that wasn’t even real. bizarre. so, staying in the moment. being always grateful for what is and sending love. so easy. so fun!
