One of the GREAT things about my years of working was the sweet anticipation of the coming events: holidays, vacations, special events. The academic world was filled with anticipation of start of a term, end of a term, first exam, Fall break, Thankgiving break, Christmas break, ACSM Conference, Spring break, Summer break, even the weekend was sweet anticipation.
With retirement, one of the things I have missed most, is the absence of all that anticipation. Now every day is like Saturday, and there are NO breaks. I really miss the anticipation, I really do. So what is there left to anticipate?
Well, I look forward to the joys of heaven. Think about it. No more sorrow, no time, no need to rush, nothing can go wrong. We will be able to associate with the saints of old, and our family and friends who have gone before us. We will walk those streets of gold, and worship with great joy!
Sweet anticipation! Welcome back!
