Do you ever get tired of waiting? What are you waiting for right now?

What a good question for me today. I am having the day from hell. Right now I am waiting for my boyfriend to come home from the hospital. He is up there because his dad is sick and had some tests done today. He needs to go pick up my daughter-in-law who got a flat tire and she is patiently waiting for him as she has no other ride or anyone to help her. I am also waiting for the clothes to get done washing so I can dry them and finally get some heat in this house. I ran out of propane today and I probably won't be able to get any until Monday at the earliest. It looks like I will be washing everything in the house just to stay warm. On top of everything else, I am waiting for this miserable cold I have to run its course. I'm usually a patient person also but today is really pushing it. Aren't you sorry you asked?lol.

I have no patience. I hate to wait and yes, ofcourse I am tired of waiting. But can't do anything life always make us to wait for every big and small thing. If sometime you have to wait to get done the laundry or dishes, sometime you have to wait to get a new can because of financial problem. No matter what is the thing you have to get, you have to wait for that. Even sometime I have to wait to sleep come to my eyes. I just hate that.

Like every one else in the USA I am waiting for all of our tax forms to come in so we can get our tax return done so that we can get my husband a new car since the engine went in his. So that we can pay off our land lord since we a re behind on our rent. So that we can get cable TV for our kids and cable internet for me so I can post more and faster on mylot and not tie up my phone line like I am right now. So that we can actually get a decent amount of groceries in our fridge, freezer and cabinets instead of scrimping and bearly being able to buy the bear necessities. Well you get the basic idea.

And now you are waiting for responses to this discussion! I find that as I get older, I have much more patience. I was always one who wanted things done "yesterday" but now, although I prefer to be busy all the time (and I am) I find I have lots of patience. It doesn't bother me to wait in line at the check-outs. It gives me a chance to talk to the next person in line and maybe brighten her day. It gives me a chance to think, and maybe to prepare the outline of a message in my head. I wait for the postman to arrive, but I am content to wait, knowing that he will come sooner or later, and may or may not have something I want. I wait for the traffic lights without getting impatient. My wanting them to change won't make it happen any faster. I use the time, as when driving, to think about good things, and maybe an outline for a lesson I'm writing. I find I can usually use all the waiting time in my life, so why get impatient? It won't help anything. There is, however, one thing I AM waiting for - waiting with expectation and joy, but not impatiently. I am waiting for the return of my Saviour and Lord. He has said He is coming back in the clouds, so I am a cloud watcher. I look and wait for His return with great joy.

Too true, too true. Basically what we as humans do is spend our lives waiting *laugh* And have you heard some of the statistics about how long we spend sitting at traffic lights and such things, on average? I can't find the stats online right now, but I did find this piece of info: "According to efficiency experts, the average computer user spends 9 minutes every day waiting for files and web screens to download." I mean, I know that that isn't that much, but just think about how much that will add up to within a year, or ten years! *laugh* I am currently waiting on a lot of things on your list. Emails. People to respond to discussions of mine on Mylot, lol. Waiting for suppertime. Waiting. We're all always waiting, aren't we? *laugh*

Hmmmm, a good question, where to start. I think I'm normaly a patient person, but I've now been waiting 12 years for Miss Right to come into my life so I can settle down again and stop being lonely again. Everyday things don't bother me, I have lots of patience and never really have time to think about waiting for something, when I do stop for a moment in places like the suprtmarket checkout, it's usually a welcome little break to think a bit and reflect a little. Perhaps age has given me a little patience over the years, but in saying that, I still get impatient about the fact that I haven't got another Miss Right yet. Perhaps one day soon, who knows what the future holds.?

oh my God. Am just waiting to be really RICH right about now . l really want to be rich , am tired of eating crab. l need to change levels ooooooooooooooooooo.

OMG yes................right now I am waiting for 5:00 :-)

I am waiting for my ship to come in. It is all about patience. I have developed patience. Patience takes practice. The best way to achieve patience is to think about something else, walk away before you say something you don't mean or want to say or to step aside and breathe deeply. What really bugs me is RUDE people, I have no patience with them.

right now i am just waiting for some good diss

You are right, I'm always waiting for something. I never thought of it that much, so I don't think that I'm tired of it. Right mow, I'm waiting for my husband to get home and my daughter to take her nap, so that I can do some cleaning.

I hate waiting. lol I am very impatient and more so a NOW person. lol Like I have to wait to get my new car still...it seems like I have been waiting forever on that. We have to wait get a house until we can find any in our price range and probably now after we pay off the new car we plan on getting. lol Waiting is just icky!!! Make it go away.

I find that I have a tendency to be impatient. I am trying very hard to be more patient. What am I waiting for at this moment? (1)WINTER!!! Seems we have had nothing but mild weather! (2)To get to 500 rating on MyLot!! (3)For my boss to realize and appreciate what a great employee I am! (4) My body to cooperate and suddenly dismiss 25 pounds! (5) My husband to come home from work (6) My children to come home from school (7) My children to clean their rooms! (8) My ship to come in!! Ha!!

Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote a beautiful poem- I will quote the refrain of it here- I am waiting for a rebirth of wonder. I will try to find the entire poem which is one of my most favorites but of course I never memorized it. when I find it I will post it here among the responses. And while I keep you waiting for it- just remember- I am waiting for a rebirth of wonder.

Yeah now i realise that i am waiting for someone i think i am waiting for u

I wait for the same things and soe different ones. Right now I a waiting for my step-daughter to start caring about herself and her family.:(

I am waiting for a lot of things financially to happen for me. Good that is. I also feel there is always something after. You wait and wait, then when you get it, there's something else you're waiting for so you don't really enjoy getting what you were waiting for. I guess that't what makes life not so boring.

Yes i have to say that i am a very patient person. I also have to say that this discussion is wonderful and oh so true. I never thought about anything this way before! i guess the only thing that i am really waiting for is for true love, The one you know the one for me anyway ... LOL!! Great post!

Right now, I wait for a change,change in better of course, change in financial plan. I hope I not waiting for nothing....:)
