Anticipation . . .
. . . the one thing that never, ever gets
old! I find it everywhere in this infamous
walk of life! "A friend is coming on the
morrow; what can I do to get ready?
I get paid at midnight tonight; now I
can finally get that fab keepsake at the
antique store. The kids are coming for
FAC this weekend; so love that they're
all grown up. I enjoy them heaps and
gobs!!!"
So, how is anticipation different from
waiting? I imagine it's a question of
nuance. Anticipation generally has a
positive vibe; waiting, not necessarily.
"I've been waiting for the mail-in
ballot to arrive. She's waiting for her
mom to pass; she's in so much pain.
We were anxiously awaiting news of
their arrival when we heard about the
accident."
And of course, they can be used
somewhat interchangeably as well
as switching nuances. And, therein
lies the wonder of language. Nothing
like it in the entire universe. Short
and sweet, long and tedious, archaic
language or popular lingo. It's all
rather beyond p h e n o m e n a l !!!
I pray a glorious day of anticipation
awaits you . . . pun intended!
