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…

  1. Have fun with your next book! A person is never too old to write. God bless.

    1. I hope you’re right, Stephanie… my memory isn’t as sharp anymore but I will do my best…

      1. 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.

        1. Thank you so much, Stephanie. I hope mine never fades…

  2. It is dood to have a character bug you to action, Jaye. Go for it.

    1. 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!

      1. I like to think that too, but I think I have one more book in me, Meeks…

        1. lol – didn’t you say that the last time? -ducks and runs-

          1. 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…

    1. especially when he’s my favourite, Jan…

  5. And when something good is coming up, Jaye Marie, you know what we say. I can’t wait!

    1. I can’t wait to get started, Mark…
