Comment: Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

You know in "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss, there's this part where he talks about "The Waiting Place", and how you really don't want to spend time there?

That's where I am.

It's uncomfortable.

I'm sure you've been there, too. We all go there. It's one of those parts of life we have to deal with, like it or not.

What do we wait for? Exam results, both educational and medical, job offers or rejections, phone calls, gestation, paying for groceries, mail and deliveries, that coveted novel you're in the queue for at the library, life to somehow magically "begin" with the onset of that perfect house, partner, promotion, hair cut, job.

Damn, we wait for a lot.

So how do we make the waiting place a productive one?

I think it's a mindset, really. It's the whole living in the moment thing.

Which I'm kind of waiting to get good at.

Ha.
