Expectant. The
word conjures up an instant image of a pregant woman,
doesn't it?
The image of
a woman experiencing the wonder of potential growing
inside her. She fills her days with expectation, imagining
joys and wonders to come. She sees the years ahead of
her, not without trouble or pain, but in the
light of all the joy and laughter and love that lies
ahead.
The light
of expectation... that's what makes lovers and new mothers
and children so beautiful at times.
Life is like
that. Or it can be. When your spirit is calm, and your
mind is clear of worry, you can feel what's coming,
and embrace the good things in your future.
There's a payoff
here. The more you expect and accept that good things
are coming your way, the more of them you get. It's
a law of the universe.
This week I
will expect that good things lie ahead for me.
