Anticipation

Dear Atria, do you know the meaning of anticipation? I am pretty sure you do, I think everyone does. Anticipating is waiting for something exciting to happen, expecting, predicting. For example you may anticipate your next holidays, thinking of it and imagining how wonderful and exciting it's going to be, how much you are going to enjoy it, how much fun you are going to have, you may plan and rethink your activities, etc. This time of anticipation while awaiting for holidays can be most enjoyable and very rewarding; it actually adds a value to your upcoming holidays, it builds up excitement and tickles your imagination. As with most life's ​pleasures, it's not so much the ​experience itself as the anticipation that is ​most enjoyable. When your holiday comes it's just a week or two and it passes very fast, but anticipation leading to these holidays may last for months, months filled with excitement, plans, imagination and joy. I think anticipation is often the best part of an experience. What do you think dear Atria?
