Vaginasaur, nevermind asking people to list things they have to look forward to. There is a laundry list of life events and experiences that provide true joy and happiness to many people and they can not be denied. But, maybe more importantly, there is also great joy to be had in the small everyday things, all we have to do is slow down the seemingly menial actions, whatever they may be, walking, driving, reading, washing your car, whatever, we can slow it down and focus on the experience and be present in the moment. There is always this tendency to forecast pleasures and always be thinking about the next thing, reducing the life experience we are having right now to a mere stepping stone, which in turn only serves to make you overlook the moment we are in.
