Anticipation

One of the most unbearably delicious of human conditions is anticipation.

Whether it is for taste, gifts, results of hard labor or simply someone’s company the strong desire and unnerving uncertainty mixed together make a potent cocktail of chemicals in our bodies.

I have discovered that by purposely delaying gratification for the simplest everyday things we can make life so much more exciting.

I want to have coffee right about now and the wafting vapors coming from the coffee machine just a few seconds away are making for quite an interesting tussle between my mind (will), my mind (desire) and body (olfactory nerves).
