I lo...This post is exciting, full of possibilities. I love each point you wrote about encouraging anticipation in your life. I think I do many of these because I've found with growing older that I love waiting for something. Naturally not when it's waiting for bad news, but I'm more willing now than ever to not have to have good things come immediately. Sometimes waiting is half the pleasure.<br /><br />When I saw that Mary is a visitor here, above, I knew it would be a good place to get to know!<br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-13342285594767244182013-05-03T00:39:01.054-04:002013-05-03T00:39:01.054-04:00Thanks for pointing this out.

I have learned {even though it's SO hard sometimes!} that sometimes, even if something is ridiculously cute, Ms. Ava just DOES NOT need any more clothes. Sad, but true. <br />And as for me, I can honestly say that I am still like a big kid. It does not take a lot to make me happy and I still get excited about little things. I will admit, I am guilty of not enough phone interaction with friends...I'm just not a phone person and texting takes care of that.

That's the way, I grow up and I decided to live the same way, like my mother did with us... I wash my dishes with my hands, while looking to my garden and watching birds or strange cats visiting our garden. I love cooking wirh my daughter when she is back from school while listening her adventures. I don't watch TV, only selected films and series on DVD. I love writing letters including some photos for my parents or friends. I have no answering machine, I am really oldfashioned, or like I say: I live my life"Zen"...<br />So the quality of life is more intensive for all. <br /><br />I love the profundity of your thoughts...<br /><br />Enjoy your day. My morning here is sunny- wonderful.<br /><br />Love, Ines Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672492981545845547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-81994703131302509242013-04-25T00:52:10.989-04:002013-04-25T00:52:10.989-04:00I agree, Celia.

I would venture to guess a phone call or letter from you is as anticipated to your recipient as well.Marilyn *Pink Martinis and Pearls*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16863450285175066156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-33931824943558252862013-04-24T20:49:17.203-04:002013-04-24T20:49:17.203-04:00Love this post.

Food tastes so much better. I don't text much, do send letters & cards, and Alpha Hubby and I "schedule" romantic evenings and date nights, and let me tell you, the anticipation for those times is high, sexy and fun! Excellent and inspiring reminder, as usual!LBDDiarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095130599361379113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-61003227858452332502013-04-24T15:18:56.498-04:002013-04-24T15:18:56.498-04:00Celia,

I have been writing cards and putting them in the mail to my friends--something I have not done in many years. There is such a sense of peace in these quiet pursuits...disconnected from the internet..email...etc. I have recently (during my recovery from surgery) taken up with great satisfaction,reading great works of literature through to completion, which is something I have neglected for awhile because I do book reviews for publishers and always have reading deadlines. When I grocery shop--I buy 3-4 of the things we eat most often so I don't have to keep going to the grocery store. Doing things like this help me achieve more serenity, rather than running, running, running...I guess in a world with super technology, we must learn to BALANCE stillness and busyness.<br />xoxo.<br />MaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184234275428944375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-19268739399270522022013-04-24T14:00:58.461-04:002013-04-24T14:00:58.461-04:00Dearest Celia,

We definitely live in a microwave society now and modern technology is taking away the appreciation of simple things like paper invites to events, real phone conversations instead of texting and going to a library instead of googling everything.<br /><br />http://foodfashionandflow.blogspot.comLVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581328842144972694noreply@blogger.com
