The word this week is Expect or Expecting.
The definition of Expecting is:
ex·pect
Orchids are blooming in my home right now. If you look closely you can see more buds. I am "expecting" more flowers soon.
If you look above the mantle you will see an empty picture frame. For many years I had that antique frame in storage because I loved it, but never found the right picture to place in it. Finally I hung it without a picture. I don't expect I will ever put a picture in the frame, but for me I just enjoy the flowers outside the box (frame). When friends visit they expect to see something in the frame and I most often receive curious looks.
This is my witch hazel. It is just beginning to bud and I expect it to be quite beautiful soon.
The word today was found in an old journal. What I wrote: "Expecting to me means anticipation, looking forward to the ordinary things of life that can excite and surprise me. I can expect great things in each moment and day when I pay attention and am open to each little thing."
