It's so important to have things in your life to look forward to. It could be a visit, or even a phone call, with friends. A holiday with family. A trip. Many things.
Something are just handed to you. The holiday gathering. The visit from friends. Some things you have to make happen, such as the trip.
I stopped working a year ago. It feels like a year has blown by and I've done very little. I've had some trips. My bf visited for a while. I have these long stretches, sometimes eight weeks, where I am just sitting at home without much to do. Sure, I'm walking, exercising, reading books. However, I'm feeling somewhat unfulfilled by that. I didn't complete some goals I had.
What are you looking forward to?
Thinking about gratitude. This week I had a chest cold. A productive cough and just not feeling up to par. I was able to take things easier this week. Contrast my situation to my Burmese friend who owns something like a food stall. We were just talking about how he has no safety net if he's sick. If he's sick he still has to work. I imagine some friends would jump in if he was so sick that he absolutely could not work, but that would take heroic efforts. So I am grateful for my situation.

You are right, always good to have something that you look forward to. I looked forward to eating out this evening - the drive was fun and the food was okay. Hope you are feeling better. No matter what problem you have if you look around you can always find someone who is worse off. Take care!
I'm looking forward to a week in Santa Fe which will include an opera, gallery hopping, and many lunches and dinners with friends.
