Anticipation
"A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain." - Arabian Proverb
The anticipation of an adventure is often even more fun than the actual event. Sometimes the anticipation can be so delicious that it occupies our minds for weeks beforehand. I always told my children way in advance about almost everything we did- a bike ride or a picnic, a trip to the beach or to the circus, or a family vacation. I wanted them to get excited, to look forward to the activity, and plan for it. The anticipation added to the fun and almost seemed to lengthen our excursion.
TODAY I WILL PLAN A GET-TOGETHER WITH SOME FRIENDS. I WILL TELL THEM ABOUT IT NOW, SO THE ANTICIPATION CAN BEGIN.
