Excited

I’ve already mentioned my excitment doing a cruise surprise for hubby.
Got me remeniscing about many other occasions that created that glorious ‘hug myself, laugh/cry, I shall burst with happiness moment’

Walking along Hadrians Wall
Scuba Diving
Performing in a concert at the Royal Albert Hall
Being present at the birth if my first Grandson
Passing my Finals exam and becoming a nurse
Swimming in a warm turquoise sea and seeing Turtles and tropicsl fish
Seeing, and going out in, deep snow - first footprints - always magic!
Midnight Mass when we can sing “Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning”….because it has become Christmas Day
Seeing a lit up Manhatten for the first time, as we emerged from a tunnel whilst travelling on a bus in USA
And reliving many more moments, like this, again, as I recall them.

This morning as it was my birthday and I was spending it out with my husband and meeting up with mybest friend to visit the American museum near Bath. Then after a lovely day going to my sons and spending time with my young grandchildren.

I get excited just getting out of bed every morning. Seriously, everything excites me! Mostly the mundane kind of things, but then I look back on a very "exciting" life.
I had a super exciting day today, doing lots of different things and still opening doors.......Life is just .....fab.

I don't do excitement. For me it is an emotion that is far to close to panic or anxiety, producing the same feelings eg upset tummy, shortness of breath, heart pounding. I do enjoy events and places that are calm and heartwarming

I get pretty excited when I have a secret.
I am positively bursting right now because I have arranged for us to go away for DH’s birthday in July, it’s to a fairly local campsite where they have pretty funky accommodation and we are staying in an original Gypsy Caravan. I know that he’s going to love it. I am much better at gifting than receiving and I just love it when I pull something like this off, then turn up somewhere with him and watch his face as the surprise unfolds.

Shysal, I think it's terrific that you feel excitement about your garden ornaments!
I think this feeling is the stuff of life - no matter how small the trigger is that's brought it on.
There's enough of the dismal in life to contend with, we NEED more excitement and I think it's a real plus if you can feel it.

shinamae - funny...and cute!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. My earlier post in this thread must have made me sound a right party pooper.

I was excited to go on holiday with my family. Love spending time with them.

I would be excited to go on holiday with my family too, but despite subtle hints ... nada.

Same here, up to the day we flew here for a holiday all I felt was dread, we have things going on at home, but even before that, each foreign holiday brings those feelings.
Stressed? Moi?
I enjoy family gatherings at home and love Christmas, it’s the going abroad that gets to me.

MrOops is now talking about the Italian lakes for later in the year, I’ll try to steer him to the Lake District

The last time I was excited was a year ago today when my first great granddaughter was born. It's been an exciting year, watching her grow into a happy, sociable, near-toddler. Today she is a year old and I can't wait to see her with her special 'grin-for-granny'.

I'm excited. Our house was badly flooded before Christmas 2022 whilst we were on holiday. Totally wrecked kitchen and lounge. Took months to dry out. Two ceilings had to come down. I'm excited that the renovations are nearly completed. Just one more wall to be plastered and papered, then we can have carpet fitted and we'll have a lounge back!

Dreadful thing to happen but not long to wait now Patsy.
