Day 23: The Thrill of Anticipation

I am a huge believer in not putting the good stuff off another day.  While cliche, life really is THAT short and you should live every day to the fullest. I also know every day does not necessarily allow you to squeeze all the good stuff in. 

Thank goodness there is something magical and seductive about anticipation.  We love looking forward, counting down the days, day dreaming about what a particular moment in time will deliver to us. Incorporating some whimsy...some hope into a crazy, chaotic day is wonderfully refreshing.  If you are not careful, allowing yourself to anticipate and daydream could in it self be a little tiny balancing act. :)

Why not try it?

Today's challenge is to make a date.  The demands of Monday are behind you.  Take a deep breath and allow yourself the time it takes to reach out to a loved one, friend, partner and schedule a date for this coming weekend.  Yes...it has to be within this week.  Come on.  You can do it!   It doesn't have to be grand or elaborate.  It just has to be something a little special.  Plan it today and then allow yourself to enjoy the anticipation for the remainder of the week.
