something to look forward to

on eharmony there is a portion of your profile that states 'things you can't live without'. this is what i have listed as one thing i can't live without: something to look forward to. the other things are necessities to me but i think i could actually live without them if it really came down to it.

however, i don't think i could live without something to look forward to. between the time of my separation and divorce, it was crucial for me to have something to look forward to. anything to look forward to. the triathlon that april and the trip to italy and turkey were great things i had sporadically planned to do. that same year brought the trip to nyc in the summer and the trip to thailand during christmas of '08.

2009 was a little more low-key travel wise but there were things i looked forward to. the irongirl in may, girls' camp in the summer and the pumpkinman in october were biggies. tennis kept me busy as well.

so far there are things i am looking forward to in 2010. in february i'm going home to help mom and monica pack during president's day weekend. in march, wedding bells ring for my dear friend noelle. april may include a cruise to cabo with 1000 other lds singles. in july, hawaii to see newborn niece numero deux along with some time on kauai with my travel buddy wendi.

if i were ms. moneybags i'd probably have more to do but i think these plans are good. i am thankful that i am able to engage in these activities and i am thankful for the good people with whom i get to spend my time. life is good.
