Anticipation

I feel like my whole life is spent anticipating the next event, goal, deadline, etc. Robin and I were talking the other day and it seems like we use the following statement every single day, "If I can just get finished with....". It seems like a shame to anticipate everything; good, bad, and ugly. It is also exciting, almost giddy childhood night before Christmas exciting, to anticipate a huge step forward towards something fresh and new.
Robin and I are real estate brokers by day, help with another family owned business and are now launching Doodle Designs. We often have people tell us we are crazy and we often get, "What are you thinking?" as we discuss what we are up to now. Diddi is our mother, a very trendy mother who is the Chicken Little of our bunch. We recently went to market and while Robin and I were anticipating the new venture with our trendy boutique, Diddi constantly reminded us to begin small and grow with time, don't sink yourselves too quickly, you have to think about money...money are you kidding...only one small factor to consider (that should have been first on our list of priorities, but everything was simply too cute).
Today we are working at our local livestock show supporting the youth of our area as they begin the season of feeding animals to show and sale in October. We were raised in this environment and admire the hard work that these kiddos do. So, for at least 2 weeks we have anticipated this event....if we can just get finished with today.
I leave you with the fact that we are anticipating getting our website up and going for Doodle Designs. We are ready to show what trendy and unique things we have to share. We are eagerly anticipating selling and of course buying more for those who like the unique as much as we do. So, off I go to the livestock barn...hot, smelly and somewhat like walking back in time. Maybe if we are constantly anticipating we are constantly living, enjoying, moving and shaking! Just take time to enjoy the moment rather than antipate one before the other is done.
More about what Doodle Designs will offer later....we are way so anticipating sharing it all!
