The idea of something is often better than the actual thing

in Reflections3 days ago

Ahhhh the whole week I have been looking forward to it. The first time of 19 degrees Celsius after a long winter, and then even having a day off.

When I woke up in the morning super early I jumped out of bed, because today would be a super warm and sunny day and I wanted to enjoy to the fullest and use every single minute of that day. Just because it is there for the first time again! Must enjoy!

The best part of this actually was that this was also the first time that I was able to walk doggo in the woods again without it being too dark to do this in a chill way. I hate morning laps when it is dark, but when you can stroll around and have a nice morning setting like this, life is totally good and you just know this will continue to be for the upcoming couple of months, and this was just the firsts of a lot mores.

Beautiful right!

Now the funny thing is that I was looking forward so much to this first sunny day, and now while the sun is already heading down...what did I actually do?

Okay I got caught up in some work things again in the morning and all of a sudden it was time for some lunch already. Boom... morning gone as if only a second had passed.





But huhhh

Then I went heading on for some outside business for stuff to take care off and this was something in the shade 'because now it was warm enough to take care of this while not being too cold on the other days. But this took more time than I had anticipated and after finishing and everything being soar....the sun has started to set already for a bit.

Where did this day do? Time passed in the blink of an eye. Yeah I got to do a lot of super usefull stuff, but the whole idea of this day off.

I had this inital idea of some gardening and then chilling in the sun, lighting up the bbq and head into a steady mode of endless day drinking just because it feels like summer and just because you can.

Nothing of this all.... And looking in retrospect, this would never have happened anyway. But just the thought of it was fantastic. And that is how it mostly is...I read this in some quote thingy today somewhere and it was exactly this.

"The thought of a perfect day off, is often better than the actuall day itself"

Crap, I guess this happens to everybody then. Why are these quotes always right?

Sort:  

I'd like to say I keep my expectations low but this is never the case. And there's nothing more disappointing than a sub par day off. But that's why the good ones are good... In contrast!
