Squirrels get busy stocking up for winter\u2014we all do. We pull out the summer clothes from our closets and fluff up our long-sleeved flannel. We look at the mess in the garage and think about paring it all down.<\/p>\n<p>Where are those Christmas lights? I need to find them.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to what comes next is natural whether we\u2019re thinking about next weekend, the holidays, or a spring vacation we\u2019re planning. But as I get older, now that I\u2019m paying attention, I\u2019ve started anticipating each new tomorrow and discovering small things I\u2019ve always seen but never really noticed.<\/p>\n<p>Anticipation is what makes life worth living. Best of all, it\u2019s personal. As my dear friend and blogging partner Anita Garner so eloquently put it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAnticipation is the only thing I can control. It\u2019s the looking-forward-to part of life and I get to decide when it starts and what it means.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That sentence is what inspired my thoughts here and many more.
