ANTISIPATION by Becky Hemsley 2023

"ANTISIPATION"
by Becky Hemsley 2023

I have maintained for a long time now that Christmas Eve trumps Christmas Day. For as long as I can remember I have found it more exciting.

It's the anticipation isn't it?

Anticipation heightens everything. It's what gives us that extra excitement and giddiness, worry and nerves. It gives us that adrenaline rush.

Because as soon as the actual event itself begins, we know it is going to end. And whilst we enjoy it as it happens, it can feel like we're winding down rather than ramping up.

We ramp up when we want to take off and fly - that's why it feels so exciting, exhilarating, scary.

Some people are full of excitement today.

Some are full of nerves.

Some are feeling giddy

and some are feeling scared.

But whatever you are feeling,

let yourself feel it.

If you want to drape yourself in Christmas lights and eat, drink and be merry,

then do it.

If you want to retreat from the lights for a while and spend some time reflecting and remembering, then do it.

If you want to keep busy so that tomorrow you can rest and relax, then do it.

Anticipation is there to be felt.

It's the momentum that keeps us going, keeps us flying, when otherwise we might fall.

Tomorrow we might hit the ground.

Some might descend slowly to the softest of landings and some might hit the ground hard.

So the best thing we can do today is let the anticipation keep us going.

Let us strap it to our backs and let it guide us.

Let it be our parachute.
