Friend or foe???
Here I sit with expectations.
Great ones even.
Nothing grand or momentous - just the blueprint of a wonderful weekend awaiting us.
Am I setting myself (and the three others in this home) up for a fall?
Will I have to eat my words instead of the tasty treats and happy times I am preparing for?
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.”
― Alexander Pope
Well, Mr Pope. you do have a point.
But today I choose to anticipate, to be expectant and excited.
A long weekend stretches before us here.
Beeeeautiful weather is forecast.
Fantastic friends are booked in.
Plans have been made.
A bonus day is ours.
I choose to subscribe to my friend Sarah here instead...
“Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday.
A simply abundant world awaits.
― Sarah Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy
I'm grateful today for the prospect of simple pleasures and promise of the few days ahead.
The sun, the socialising, the 'samily' time.
(The sleep, hey Missi??!!)
Bring on the weekend.
What could possibly go awry?

P.S. I'm asking for it, aren't I?!
