I think it's important to always have at least something, both small or large, to be looking forward to. Otherwise, why is life worth living?
Every year during this time... I look forward to Spring. I run a youth Baseball league in my area and each year the first time I step onto a ball field, I get a great feeling.
For years I've also been wanting to get a new (used) car. I want to get a convertible. I've been eyeing a Pontiac Solstice... It's a nice car, affordable, and I think this Summer is finally the year I can get it.
