TGIF.
Today continues the weekly series, F*ing Fridays, which will coincidentally occur on Friday. I mentioned some of my favorite F words back on Day 5, including: Fearless, Fabulous, Fine, Fun, Faith, Freedom, Forgiveness, to name a Few.
Last week I dove into the word Fête.
Today’s F*ing Friday is dedicated to the word:
Forward.
As in, looking forward.
Tonight, while taking my bath I made a mental list of all the things I have to look forward to over the next year.
Like:
Shopping in January 2012 with Holly Getty!
Going to Paris next April with Women on Fire!
Moving back to Martha’s Vineyard in May!
Soon after, plans for this weekend crept into my cranium:
I look forward to visiting Corkscrew Wildlife Sanctuary to hopefully spot an alligator, live, in person (from a very safe boardwalk). I have to see one before we leave Florida!
Also on the looking forward list is North Naples Green Market for tomorrow morning. We have yet to check out this local farmer’s market which closes on April 30th.
And, my tummy is definitely looking forward to a breakfast of strawberries, blueberries and granola (even though it’s been a mere two hours since I had dinner!).
I must be a looking-forward kind of gal.
I can easily wonder off to dreamland, looking forward to special life moments, crazy adventures, super celebrations and measly milestones.
I look forward to having Christmas with family, holiday food, new puppies, old friends, good wine, dark chocolate and sunsets on the beach.
Let’s face it, I even look forward to my toe nail polish rubbing off so I can get a new color!
It’s beats the alternative, looking backward.
But, right in the middle of my looking forward frivolity I missed something.
My bath water.
I spent all day looking forward to my evening bath, and then spent the entire bath looking forward to something else.
Snuggled in between the backwards and forwards of it all is something worth not missing:
The here and now.
The present.
This moment.
I look forward to trying again tomorrow.
