What are Three Things about the Future that Excites You?

I am wondering what people are excited about in the near future and if I had asked this question in January if the answers would be the same? If you are really honest with yourself are you looking forward to the same things that you were before the quarantine? I believe for the most part I am looking forward to the same things.

I look forward to the next stage of my parenting life which is actually being a Grandma, Granny, Grammie, Mamaw, GiGi, Lovey – I do not care what the little monkeys call me I am just looking forward to this next stage of life. But alas my kids aren’t ready so I wait.

I am looking for a new position in my professional life and it is exciting to see what the future holds there. Working in HR I recruit, hire, onboard new staff, create policies and procedures, create memorable events, and sometimes I terminate people when they have made poor choices. Kind of sounds like being a professional mom doesn’t it? I am excited not only about landing the new position but also what the new team will look like and how they work together to make things happen for the betterment of the business.

Lastly, I am looking forward to summer more this year than I have in a long time. Being outside, taking in the sun, hanging out with friends, watching little people play baseball (especially the babies that can’t really play ball at all – so cute) parades, homemade ice cream, fireworks, concerts. I am looking forward to it all. Outside!

It can be hard right now in this unpredictable time that we are living in to be excited about much. I know, I get that. But how about trying, how about a short term bucket list of things to look forward to in 2020. When they happen and they will sweet friend it will be even sweeter than you could ever imagine.
