Waiting...

Waiting for the President

I have never really considered myself a patient person, things should be done quickly and efficiently. This trait comes from my Dad who always wanted the fastest turn around possible. Recently I have been placed in a situation where I have no choice but to sit and wait patiently, for months. I never thought that it would bother me as much as it does. Waiting does not actually stop you from doing anything, but it feels as though it is preventing you from doing everything. It just feels like your to do list perpetually has an additional item that cannot yet be checked off. I could just be me that gets an anxious feeling when waiting for things, but I cannot think of anyone that loves to sit and wait.

In actuality waiting gives you the opportunity to do things that you might not have had time to do previously. Like when you are sitting in traffic, you always remember to return the call from your aunt, or to schedule that dentist appointment that is six months overdue. It also gives you perspective on how nice it is to get an immediate response.
