Gratitude - Day 157

Gratitude - Day 157
I'm grateful for cautious anticipation. Anticipation can be a tricky thing - too much of it, and you're most always let down, not to mention the fact that then you're no longer living in the moment - everything exists in the future, and that's no fun, and certainly no way to live. But cautiously preparing for the coming moment? That's delightful! I think it assures appreciation of what is about to unfold: your senses are all on high alert, knowing that something fabulous is coming, not letting one detail pass you by! Ah, from the eyes of "babes", we can learn so much!

Lovely shot, great look of this adorable litte lady!! And we are cautiously waiting for the Furore Release, listening religiously to Lamenti!! Cheers!

Fantastic shot! Do you use manual focus? I've been experimenting with that recently, but in truth I still haven't mastered exposure! Must practice more... Hmm, sounds familiar!

Lots of love to you, sweet!

Cautious anticipation... Do you mean when you buy train or plane tickets two months in advance for a concert...?

Ps: Yes, it sounds familiar to me too...

ACB - I tend to auto focus a bit more than I probably should, but also use manual when I can't get what I want from the AF....I have a feeling it could take us a lifetime to figure it all out! And Mei - I think you like to live on the edge a bit, so those are good kinds of gambles!!! But yes, I think cautious anticipation is called for in those moments! ;-)

Ohh but anticipation is sooo much fun! It is so nice to know there is something in the future to really look forward to, it puts a smile on your face whenever the day is not so great. Like looking at a certain ticket on your desk and peeking at a calendar and counting down the day :-) But it does make good times fly by quicker…
