Sitting and waiting

"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Francis of Assisi

Sitting and waiting.

That's just about all I can accomplish lately.

I know that I am being a bit harsh on myself when I say that.

It's not as if I am to the point of paralysis.

I get up every day,go to work,make meals for the family,and continue to do all of the stuff that needs to get done.

The work on the house is ongoing.

Emails and phone calls are getting made.

Still, forward progress seems minimal at best as I wait on others to get back to me.

I know that I a not alone in feeling this way. I had a long discussion with someone today (who will remain anonymous) and I could sense that this person was finding themselves in a similar position.

As a matter of fact, I had more than one encounter with more than one person today who also seemed to be sitting and waiting.

Here's what I know.

There is nothing energetic about sitting and waiting.

Busy for the sake of keeping busy is not the answer either.

This is just another "in the meantime " moment.

The one thing I have learned about "In the meantime" is the next words out of my mouth should always be"I am so grateful for what I have and where I am in this moment".

Loving the "in the meantime!"
