stace and i tried to get crepes wednesday morning at anita's crepes on leary but alas, our dreams were crushed as we read: open at 10am. we resorted to the dish next door.
it was satisfactory but to be honest not what i wanted.
i was thinking just now about getting what you want. we always have in mind something that we want; something that will make us happy. and all the time, it feels as if those things don't happen and we're let down. not that the pancake and egg i had was bad, it just wasn't the desired.
this leads me to think that if we have in mind what we want, we can't ever be happy or satisfied with what we are dealt. even if what we are given is good, will it make us happy? would stacey and i eating crepes that morning really have made my day? i will never know. but i do know that forming expectations of what i "need" usually lets me down in one way or another. either i don't get what i want or it wasn't as good as i thought it would be.
how can i live without expectations? do i need to? i want to live and expect nothing. be surprised. be excited. i want to live with abandon and joy. bring me into that way of living. this way: at peace with the way things are.
man! i still want crepes... i guess i'm not there yet.
