What Are You Looking Forward To?

I'm trying to do the building-a-life-worth-living thing and I find it very hard.

I react badly to focussing on gratitude, but I've realised that looking forward to things works for me. Does this help anyone else?

At the moment I'm looking forward to my book group in a few days' time. It's a really good group and something I actually enjoy. This time I think most people will have hated the book so talking about that should be fun. :p
I react the same to gratitude work. I'm not able to look forward to anything though. I've been disappointed too many times and experienced too much to depend on something that may not work out.
 
I am looking forward to this time being over. This time next year, the house will be repaired from the Cycle and the house next door burning down. Everything This time next year, all of whatever is happening with my psychiatrist will be over. I will have transitioned. This time next year I will be more connected to my different parts. This time next year, I will be in a position to reduce my medications under medical supervision. This time next year, I will have a kitchen yet. This time next year, I will have a laundry to use. This time next year I won't be dealing with the complaints with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and the goddamned Insurance Company.
