Flexible Expectations

My sister is getting married this weekend and the whole family is excited for the big day!  There is nothing like a large family wedding to give folks something to talk about for weeks, sometimes even years!  Milestone events like weddings bring expectations of gigantic proportions.  Usually there is disappointment if something doesn't go the way we think it "should" go.  I urge you to let go of your shoulds and create a more flexible attitude to the things that happen around you.  Go with the flow and be open to the experience of what is happening at the present moment.  Are you angry?  How come?  It is one of those pesky "shoulds" popping up again?

Please take a deep breath and tell that should that you don't need it anymore.  Then go back to enjoying a "should-free" life!
