Recently, I've been thinking through the feelings of anticipation. These involve excitement, which is generally seen as a source of positive stress and trepidation, which includes negative stresses. The combination brings butterfly sensations and may escalate to more severe abdominal symptoms. Yet, anticipation is part of looking forward to some future event. Now it is that future forward process that means events will not happen in the present, thus ensuring extended periods of time between now and when the thing we are anticipating actually occurs. This involves waiting, something I do not do well or with any degree of patience. <smile>
As I have been thinking of this process, a song ran through my head -- one I have used here in the past. The artist and band present a song that speaks to the whole concept of process of anticipation. Keep well. Enjoy!
The Waiting -- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
