I loved this so much that I just read it ...Chantel,<br />I loved this so much that I just read it out-loud to oldest daughter, Behind Green Eyes, slowly and with emphasis. She didn't think she had the time, or better, the patience as we are both so tired this evening, but it was worth the slow contemplative read. Waiting well has often been my downfall on the big things in life. A sure character flaw. And yet, as you've said, doing it well can bring such contentment and peace. <br />Have you heard of the book, When the Heart Waits by Sue Monk Kidd? I think you might like it. <br />With ongoing admiration of wonderful expression of your very creative soul, <br />Your friend in Asotrga<br />Freckled Philologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249352979695529622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5992417360714180348.post-57303895768506885902012-08-20T14:35:16.454-04:002012-08-20T14:35:16.454-04:00Susan--I know exactly what you mean, sometimes get...Susan--I know exactly what you mean, sometimes getting caught somewhere is the only downtime I get! <br /><br />Anthony--thank you!<br /><br />Darla--thank you, such a sweet comment. :)<br /><br />Christine--I like that, 'waiting is like listening'--a wonderful thought.<br /><br />Kogen--thank you, and like the new name. :)<br /><br />Terlee--lol, I'm glad you think so--with my boys home for the summer and my grandmother too--it's been crazy! <br /><br />Mary--and you are gracious, as always. xo<br /><br />BamaTrav--that's one long wait!

Those who will enjoy your writing.<br />Barring the published comments i would like to impinge on propound a theory that "Waiting" its a part of our life,which is the pedestal of success.<br />If, any person will have wanted to climb at pinnacle of zenith, At that time,needs to keep on persevere and tenacity till arrive at his/her desired results.<br />In fine,waiting is the ulterior word to every person those who wants to get the right award by his/ her dedication and scarifies for self & others in this beautiful world.<br />sumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304271575446604614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5992417360714180348.post-76797810287043769212012-08-20T09:02:28.834-04:002012-08-20T09:02:28.834-04:00Wow I wish I could sketch like you.
