Looking forward

When I was in high school, I played a little game to help myself get out of bed in the morning. I'd turn off the alarm, and then lie there and think of something to look forward to during the day ahead, to motivate myself to get moving.

It's the evening, not the morning, and I need to go to bed, not get up. But here are some things I'm looking forward to, anyway, both sooner and later:

• Coffee with a friend tomorrow morning
• Reviewing the Boston Pops concert on Thursday evening
• Maybe some cookie-baking and A Christmas Story-watching with my sister over the weekend
• Christmas Eve at home, for the first time in 15 years
• A girls' weekend in January with Steph

What are you looking forward to?
