Curing the Blues

I can't believe how much planning a trip can help a person feel better. When people have serious illnesses they say that if you give the person something to look forward to they will live longer. It gives them a purpose for living. Maybe this theory should not only be used for the sick. The healthy living need something to look forward to as well. I think this is why I obsess over whatever is going to be the next event in my life. I always need something to look forward to whether it is school, work, wedding, a new house, etc.. I completely obsess over one thing until it is over and then I need something else to keep my mind busy. The negative part of this is that I should always be concentrating on something else. Therefore, I am always procrastinating. Well, planning a trip is the new obsession at the moment and it is making me feel much better. It is helping me cure the "Winter Blues". At least for now.
