Anticipation is the greatest joy
Posted by Wohnreich on
Personally, I am one of those very spontaneous people. Whatever the mood. In my private life, I prefer to do things from one moment to the next. Making plans days in advance about when we will do what with whom is not really my thing. It gives me a kind of "this is restricting me" feeling. That's what I thought until recently, when I was sitting on the sofa with my girlfriend, drinking tea, completely spontaneously, while the children spontaneously conquered the trees in the garden. It was cold, damp, just how it was the last few days. The longing for warmth is addressed, the desire to dig a winter cave and fall into a deep hibernation, all these kinds of feelings spread. Until the decisive statement was made: anticipation is the greatest joy. Here and today I am sitting on my sofa again, 3 days have passed and I am really beginning to understand this sentence. What is more beautiful than anticipation? It starts as a child. You can hardly wait for the first loose tooth. The anticipation of finally going to kindergarten, then starting school. Moped test. 18th birthday and so on. My youth was filled with anticipation, of something. But where has it gone? The anticipation? The answer is on the table. And it's packaged in catalogs. I need the feeling of anticipation. Now I'm going to book the autumn holidays, there are still six weeks to go, no spontaneous packing of a toothbrush and seeing where I'm going. I already know when, where and with whom I'll be in six weeks. And I'm looking forward to it, because anticipation is the greatest joy!
What can you look forward to?
