Impatiently Waiting

This was the Facebook status update of my mom’s cousin today. My response to her, “That’s the story of my life.” On further reflection I have a feeling that it’s probably the story of many people’s lives. With the day to day hustle and bustle of our lives we are always running from one thing to another thing and always in such a hurry. Never leaving much time for us to ‘stop and smell the roses’ so to speak. I tried to think of a time when I am not Impatiently Waiting for something and realized that I’m always waiting for something even if it’s not impatiently. When watching a movie even if I enjoy it, I am still waiting for it to end so I can leave to go do the things I need to get done, or go to sleep. When taking a bath, reading my book, I am waiting to finish the end of the chapter so I can get out of the tub so I can go do whatever needs to be done before I can go to bed for the evening. Whatever it is, whatever the time or day I am always waiting for the next thing to come with no care of how enjoyable a task it is or how appreciative I am for what I am doing or receiving I am always just waiting for the next thing to come along. So now I ask myself how can I change my entire outlook on life to not be just waiting? Is it even possible? Obviously today is one of those days.. LOL
