Waiting…

Why on earth do so many things on this planet involve waiting?

I hate waiting for anything, and although considered to be a most patient soul, this seems to be changing as I grow older.

Long, lonely hours of wondering and waiting, trying not to hope too much for the best, but you already know which list you belong to.

Even as a child, I had trouble waiting for anything. I would dig up seeds to see what was happening, so I hope I have improved with age.

Doctors’ appointments are the worst. I made an appointment yesterday, 12th September.

My new appointment, 15th October. Chances are, I might forget what I wanted to ask by then.

If I need urgent help, I can speak to the duty doctor at any time, but this doesn’t help much if I need reassurance, not emergency care.

You would think I would be good at waiting by now, wouldn’t you? Being an author means sometimes waiting forever for a book to be finished.

Speaking of writing a book, something I thought I was getting too old to do, I had an interesting visit from my favourite character, Detective David Snow.

I now have this idea for a story that won’t leave me alone…

        I’m only a few years younger than y’all are. I rely on God rather than my memory! As a fulltime caregiver and the only caregiver for my husband I don’t have much time for writing, but it’s a fire in my bones that can’t be quenched. May your fire burn long and bright. God bless.

      I’m with John. Go for it! There’s only one use-by-date for an author, and it’s the one none of us can avoid. And you’re a long, long way from there!

            The jury is still out on that one, Meeks… but I have good thoughts about this one. Plus, I have been getting bored, not having something to write…
