I don’t know about you guys, but I miss nouns. People. Places. Things. My June calendar is pretty conspicuously empty. And my kids have never gone so long without seeing their grandparents.

One thing I really really miss that I didn’t expect to miss was anticipation. Knowing something you are looking forward to is coming, and savoring that expectation. 

When everything was canceled in one fell swoop, all the things I had been looking forward to were swept under the same rug. And now I look forward to the weekend and then realize it’s pretty much the exact same as the weekdays.

My family and I have started creating little things to look forward to. A day going hiking, a special meal. Going camping later in July. Take out Saturday. Weekly zoom calls. HAMILTON ON DISNEY PLUS JULY 3. 

What were you looking forward to in 2020? what are some things you have created to look forward to instead?
