Waiting (Updated 7/22/11)

Good things come to those who wait! I'm really hoping that one is true right now. The key to a remarkable person is the ability to wait for what they want. Really this is a line from a movie I am listening to. Cary Grant always gets it right, right? Hmmm....maybe not in today's fast paced social settings.

I am waiting for Robbie to get here as my car is sitting in front of Earlene’s house and won’t start due to the battery cables needing to be cleaned. (I watched my dad do this periodically as a little girl and I might just be able to get er done!…? Right! Wrong!) So I went out there, in the heat of the day to see if I can figure out how to do this little task. I know it’s the cables as … the AAA guy said so when he started it in town about an hour of ago. Anyway, there are these rubber coverings, so there is no way to see the corrosion and no way to take off the cables till…. Robbie gets here. This means that I am going to miss this evenings meeting with my new friend Cheryl. So… here I sit in the air conditioning of course, "Thank YOU God!" recovering from the heat and yes, waiting.

Hope  you are having a better day. … C.

Good things do come for those who wait! Waiting for good things is worth it. Waiting to get to go to Disneyland was a real trip when I lived at home as a kid. I still get that way, but I am not telling anyone but you that. Lol! Talk about anticipating the moments..!

So what are you waiting for? Waiting for the right moment to ask for a raise? Waiting for your spouse to get ready for a visit to your favorite restaurant? Waiting for a special someone to come for a visit? Waiting for a check to come in the mail? Waiting for the economy to recover? Waiting for world peace to come?

Thinking about waiting reminds me that a favorite form of waiting is the kind when I can get something else done while waiting….and the ride in the car to a destination with someone else driving preferably…(Southern California freeways are incredible) the best part of the trip is getting there for me. That is when I can "be with" a fav person.

Just want to also note that quite possibly some of the best moments of the human experience are the ones we spend waiting. Some things are really worth the wait. Trying to remember that while I’m waiting.

Ok....waiting, update!!

It wasn't the battery (replaced it thought), or the cables after all! It was the starter!! Ouch! Expensive! Anyway ... no longer waiting and thanks to friends, it, the car, is starting GREAT! Pep Boys to the rescue along with some guys I know.

Thanks so much Robbie, Rick, Don Jr. and Don Sr. See you, Kim and family at Bermuda Dunes!!
