I’m not so sure I agree with dictionary.com’s definition of countdown:
a period of increasing activity, tension, or anxiety, as before a deadline.
I think they should’ve included joy, anticipation as well.
Not all count downs are full of anxiety or tension.
Everyone has different count downs
It could be for something small and that’s going to happen soon…
a party or event
It could be something big like a child turning 18 or going to college
Many count down the days until they hit a weight goal or a training/racing goal.
Guys (and girls) count down til kick off for football season.
Others count down the days until they no longer have to deal with someone or something that is bothersome.
Some count down the days of their pregnancy, anxiously awaiting the new arrival.
Not to say that all countdowns are good but there are plenty of joyous reasons for count downs…
I personally have a few different count downs in the works right now….but to get to the final destination is still hundreds of days off…..
Question of the day:
What are you counting down until?
