On a side note- Supposing you have an exciting thing you are planning, wouldn't you want to tell people about it? I'm offended if someone who I am really close with can keep their big plans to themselves, when I am always oozing with excitement to tell that person about my stuff.
Bottom line is: I love looking forward to something! Who doesn't? Now that my fun weekend is over, I'm already making great plans for this evening, and it inspires me to want to do something exciting every day. I realize every day can't always be the most exciting day, and that everyone has to do things like work, and do gross boring things like cleaning toilets and paying bills and things that kill one's buzz. But I'm thinking that I can stay a little high on life if I keep at least one simple pleasure a day. This could be just a meal, like a delicious healthy breakfast, which by the time I'm done with makes me so happy! (*Yes i am a fatty...) Or even just a plan to work out, which to some might feel is an obligation or a chore but to others could see it as an opportunity to try the new exercise dvd they just got. I like looking forward to something, and turning something not usually enjoyable into something I can enjoy. I whole heartedly believe that attitude is everything and if I plan a little something for every day of my life, there will never be an unfulfilling day. So I pity those of you who look down on us planner- types, claiming we have to have all things so structured and we can't fly off the seam of our pants. you are WRONG! we can fly. we just like to pick out which pants to wear!
