Hmmm, this place is very familiar to me.

The Waiting Place…
…for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.



NO!
That’s not for you!
Somehow you’ll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You’ll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

Dr. Seuss Oh the Places You'll Go

I'm sorry your in the waithing place. We have been there before. At least it is fun and rewarding when you escape the waiting space.

I love Dr. Seuss. I am a waiter. Wish I was more of a Live in this moment kind of person. I should post this as a reminder.
