Waiting

I am waiting on:

  • God
  • Sunshine
  • Flowers in the garden center
  • Things to unfold as they may

I don’t know what it is about this winter season, but it has me reflecting on a lot lately. I believe part of the reason is you have no choice but to wait for things to run their course. We have a lot of snow and the heatwave of 36 degrees has started to slowly melt the mountains of snow around my neighborhood. No matter how bad you want that snow to go away, it is going to take it’s sweet time. No matter how badly you want spring to come, it is going to take its time.

Waiting is not a bad thing. It is not passive. It is active, like stillness. It is a choice. And, there is a lesson there, if you are willing to wait on it.

Jennifer Gandin Le - This is a gorgeous photo! The shallow depth of field, the colors, the sparkle. So beautiful! And your words convey clearly the patience and power of your waiting. A wonderful post all around!

Lisa Ullrich - I’ve been waiting on something that’s very important in my life for over a year and I hope that my patience will ring true one day. I feel it is very much worth the wait.
