the joy of anticipation

Today, I am grateful for a sense of adventure, opportunities to explore, and the ability to discover new things. 

I am learning how to live with bold optimism, how to find joy in anticipation. 

I accomplished not allowing my fear of future discomfort to prevent me from experiencing joy in the present. 

I delighted in a morning walk on the beach, in my person finding her first agate, in discovering tide pools that were home to an array of sea anemones, in witnessing the oceans mighty power as she churned and clashed against large rock formations, in watching a sea geyser erupt, in sitting on the porch feeling the warmth of the sun while listening to the waves, and in an amazing dinner with my person.
