Patience is one of my greatest qualities.  However, it is also one of my worst faults.  Sometimes, waiting turns out to be the wisest response to a situation.  Things have a way of settling down and sorting out as they would with or without my jumping on a horse and riding in at full speed.  That doesn't mean though that I am calm and serene as I wait. My mind is filled with possible solutions and fear over what might happen.  I pray and pace and consider what I might say and how to say it without fanning the camp fire into a forest fire.  
    Now, as my age advances in numbers, I'm tired of being patient.  I want to chuck being responsible, cash in my small investment eggs and scramble them into more adventures.  I want to sign up for every interesting trip, class, and performance and cram them into the time I have left.  I want to have reunions with old friends and get better acquainted with new ones.  I want more fun with my kids and grandkids. I want to establish or renew bonds with extended family members.    
    In the midst of this whirlwind of wishes, I want to release all the stories and learned lessons into print before I burst.  
    So today I'm not waiting to:
        Work on the writing
        Call, e-mail, and meet with some friends.
        Learn another new process in this cyberworld
        Quit waiting for the clutter in my house and mind to evaporate on its own.
        
Talk to you later, can't wait any longer.
