Recently, I made a comment to someone who was nervous about doing a dathun.  I said 'It's good that you're nervous. It's like going on a first date with yourself for a whole month'.  I really feel meditation is like that - sweet, gritty, exciting, nerve-racking, awkward, possibly boring...  The point is that expecting something very specific out of meditation is not a great idea.  Being open and curious is the best way to be.  Just like on a first date.
