Future Gratitude

A funny thought I'm having here - I was just thinking the other day how it's not possible to be thankful for something that was still to happen, yet I feel like I'm thankful for my upcoming vacation... Maybe I'm just really looking forward to it and confusing it with thankfulness, or maybe I'm predicting my future being thankful for it... Either way, today I'm thankful for this funny and confusing feeling!

What do you think, is it possible to be thankful for something that hasn't happened yet? I still think it's not.

  1. Both reasons for being thankful are just as lovely :) (I'm thankful for upcoming breaks too!)

  6. I would say so because it also leads into your thankfulness for being excited about something! Having something to look forward to and know will bring you joy is something to be thankful for, I would say.
