And I Still Don’t Know, But I Still Do It

Recently I came across a note to myself saying, essentially, that “I don’t know why I bother being on time for appointments; it just means I have to wait longer.”

Busy Waiting. I’ll Let You Know As Soon As *I* Know Something

The waiting is the hardest part.
Every day you get one more yard.
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart.
The waiting is the hardest part.

– “The Waiting” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Just Not Today

When waiting for news starts to get to be too much for me, I figure the best way to tempt the Universe to stop playing the waiting game is for me to focus my attention elsewhere, thereby giving the Universe the opportunity to inconveniently interrupt me.

This works more often than you might think.

The Trick Is Recognizing It

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

– Paulo Coelho
