I think back to the first day at school sitting down with friends at lunch recalling the best summer memories

I think back to the feeling after winning a football game, when you know all your work paid off and you get to celebrate with your friends. 

I think back to the build up of excitement when going on vacation 

I think back to the excitement of getting a new dog 

I think back to running around the neighborhood with friends during the summer and dreading the nightfall

I think back to the highly competitive driveway basketball games with my brothers

I think back to being able to see my grandparents for the first time after quarantine

I think back to when I was a little kid with the anticipation of christmas after thanksgiving, slowly counting down the days

I think back to the excitement of the last day of school, knowing warm weather is coming and three months of freedom.

I think back to the anticipation when I was a little kid of counting down the days till my birthday
