Ah yes, the waiting. We spend a lot of time there, don't we... uncomfortable time.. We anxiously await news - boy or girl, test results on whether there's a serious medical condition or not, school grades, did we get the job, is he going to call, did we get the apartment/house, is one of us going to call the dead relationship what it is?.. and on and on. How do we get through all the waiting? Is there anything more anxiety causing and exhausting?! How do we do it?!
Well, we have no choice I suppose. Life serves up a new "one" and we have to hold it in the air, patiently as we can, and survive whatever the outcome may be. We do survive though and whether we can see it at the time, there may be a richness in these experiences. The Art of Happiness talks about these experiences as being a means of connecting with others. There's no question, we reach out for each other in fearful times of need. For example- apparently, we've never talked more about money in society. Most people are in the same boat post-2008 and we're sharing our stories of woe with one another in a new way. Maybe that's a bigger blessing than we know. Hugs.
Blessings,
