Waiting

Ozzie take a break I think I can speak for all of us by saying you can just do a group thanks and go have fun or something that will refresh you...xoxxox

I had already logged out this am when I saw this thread again... wanted to share...

the time BEFORE we find out news we are waiting for can be a valuable time. I mean, AFTER we hear any "news" it's too late to center on the before aspects, right? Taking time to think about where we are right now, before, and all the possible answers for the after.. and wondering what would change... follow me here please.... .... you know???

There will never be another time EXACTLY like "this" again. What do I want to do with this time BEFORE..??? What might change about me, and my attitudes, my hopes, goals... AFTER I receive the news for which I'm waiting? What about me BEFORE I hear... do I wish to cherish and fully experience..embrace... BEFORE I do this "change" ???

Regardless of the AFTER answer... good , bad, indifferent, or inconclusive... you will never have the "BEFORE" like it is right now!

Ozzie, hey, still waiting with you.

Thanks Sky....that's a wonderful way to look at the "now". So far, I've been spending it running around trying to get ready for our usual Christmas celebration. It's hard, but I want to have it this time, just as like we always have.

Since hubby is retired he is taking an active role in shopping and other preparations and yesterday stated that he is glad to be able to participate this year! I'm glad to have his help.

Thanks for waiting with me.......6 more days!

Letting you know I'm still "at it."

wondering how you are...

Thank you ((((((((Tomi)))))))))) Today went by ok. My daughter called and asked about my doctor's visit and that perked me up.

Today I worked on putting up my Christmas decorations (indoors) I have a huge collection of Santa Clauses as well as some other stuff so I feel like I accomplished something while I continued my "what if's" kind of thinking.

I haven't heard anything more about the little brown jug. lol Maybe they did the test.

LOL CALL them on said little brown jug

Hi Susan,

I have been gone for a few and just saw this post. I wanted you to know that I am sending good vibes your way. Thinking of you.


Huggles,


Jen

Thanks a bunch for your good vibes. ((((((((Jen))))))))

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a Capricorn, but I think I have a fairly good relationship with the passage of time. I know that, no matter what I'm waiting for, nothing I do is going to make time move any faster. A minute is still a minute, an hour is still an hour, a day, a month, a year, is still a day, a month, a year, and that time will pass the same when I'm waiting for something as for when I'm not waiting for something.

Yes, it is better when I have stuff to do, but I always have stuff to do. Work, cleaning, now there's school stuff, I have had this lifelong distraction - for the past 20 years I've been writing about herbs. I grab an herb book & a pad of paper & a pen, & start taking notes. I've got so many unread herb books on my shelves... I read really fast, but if I'm taking notes on something, it slows me down. A book that may only take me a couple of days to read can stretch out to a month if I'm taking notes & doing sketches. I color a lot, too, and do jigsaw puzzles, and crossword puzzles.

While I'm waiting for something, I never feel like I'm 'wasting' time - I'm learning new things, I'm being creative in some small form, I'm exercising my brain. And sometimes, when I don't have anything to do while I'm waiting, I can just stand there & feel like, "Wow! This is great! I have absolutely nothing to do except stand here, relax & breathe deeply!" - and I'm annoying the impatient people in line behind me as a bonus.

Oooow I LOVE Santa Claus.

((((((((((Susan))))))))))) Waiting, especially for medical reasons, is soo hard. I hope the time passes quickly.

I hope all is well.

Good post with lots of interesting suggestions. Thanks a bunch.

Wish you could see my mantle today with all my Santas on it. There's greenery with snow all around the bases of them. I'm proud of how it looks and it took my mind off my worries while I was being creative.

Today We're making a trip to Walmart. I don't sit around all the time worrying but it's always there in the back of my mind ready to bother me at any idle moment. ugh!

Thank you Kim. I know most of us here have had to go thru this waiting process in regards to test results. I think talking about it might help others too.........hope so. It's certainly helping me!

I am not gonna tell you not to worry cause if I knew how to do that I would not be on here I really think there are times worry is NORMAL.....so this is day....4 ???

Sleeps, my appointment is Monday. Waiting for it is the pits but I'm also fearing what I find out so don't want the day to come. Now that sure is a conflict of emotions!

Sitting here with you waiting and a watching 10 inches of snow fall by A.M

You must live near my daughter. She also got 10 inches of snow today. I only got one inch but it was pretty. Thanks for waiting with me.
