Anticipation

Recently my girlfriend and I went on holiday. (I proposed, she said YES, so now we are engaged).
Anyway, we went on holiday and leading up to the departure date we became increasingly excited.
Now the holiday was fantastic. Absolutely wonderful - this is where we went, I absolutely encourage you to visit (http://www.chivasom.com/content/index.htm).
While the holiday was truly amazing I was reminded that in fact the experience started while we were planning the trip. The anticipation of the trip was itself a very big part of it. I would even suggest that the anticipation of the trip was 85% of the enjoyment.
So, this blog post is to remind you to enjoy the now that you are living. It's a reminder to enjoy the feelings you create as you imagine the things you want. It's a suggestion that often the manifestation of the things you want don't bring you as much joy as the anticipation of getting them!
