Always More Satisfying Not to Expect

At my wedding shower yesterday the phrase, "don't expect and you'll be satisfied" kept running through my mind.  I realize today how much depth that meaning brings into life.  Even though we're all raised in this world to expect certain things, the things that occur and aren't assumed bring the ultimate satisfaction.  For someone who's a great planner, and finds it difficult to get "thrown into things" I believe when moments happen unexpectedly  shows that not everything has to be planned to bring happiness.  Even during an event where I expected gifts that I've chosen, I still felt that extreme gratification.  Words to the wise: let things "be as they are" without any expectation and the silver lining will shine!!
