The waiting game

I’m sitting here waiting for Chel to get ready to go to our friend Jen’s birthday party, thinking that waiting is what I’m doing a lot of lately. I’m waiting to see how the whole law school thing turns out; waiting for a few big projects to be completed at work; waiting to find out if we have a chance at the house we put a backup contract on; waiting for the day when we can put more money in savings. Waiting.

Waiting is not all bad — waiting teaches patience. But sometimes I need to take more action while I’m waiting. I can be finish those law school essays I’m putting off, make things happen instead of waiting for things to happen at work, stop fiddling away money on stuff that doesn’t matter. Then I might not be waiting quite so much.
