anticipation

This blue heron was possibly searching for a frog or fish to eat. And the heron would likely wait as long as needed or fly to what may be a better location. No stress or frustration involved - just doing what is necessary.

On the other hand, I am finally becoming less stressed when anticipating an event. Yesterday I was looking forward to today's afternoon meeting and instead of becoming overly stressed I was only a little bit nervous, but in an excited way. And I was far more relaxed as a result and thoroughly enjoyed the meeting : )

And because I love listening to music, here's Carly Simon's song Anticipation.
