Day 4189: Waiting

While I’m waiting for my photos and images to upload from my phone onto this blog, I’m also waiting to come up with a good enough opening for this post.

The waiting for that is over!

Because of my keen sense of mortality and belief that every day may be my last, I’m not a big fan of waiting. One might say that I’m waiting to become more patient and accepting of waiting.

Along with many other people I know, I’ve been waiting for the weekend and the end of the current heat wave.

I gave up waiting for the Halifax Fringe to respond to my proposal to do my “Group Therapy with Ann” show there this year, so I booked a trip with my son Aaron through the Canadian Rockies. Now I’m waiting to see Vancouver and many other beautiful sites in Canada for the first time. If I do get accepted to the Halifax Fringe, we’ll all be waiting for me to do my show there another year.

Do you see waiting in my images for today?

Rather than waiting for the heat of the day, I took a very early walk yesterday near the company that makes my mechanical heart valve and my pacemaker/defibrillator.
Because today is all we have, I’m not waiting for tomorrow to live my best life.
This group email, which I received yesterday after many months of waiting, seems to imply that I might have been given a show at the 2024 Halifax Fringe. Now I’m waiting for them to contact me personally so I can tell them I can’t do it this year.
Michael’s creative dishes are always worth waiting for.

Here’s what I find when I search for “waiting” on YouTube.

If you would like to make a comment about this “waiting” post, what are you waiting for?

There’s no waiting for my thanks to YOU.

  1. I love waiting in line, one of the odd people in the world, who do enjoy it. I don’t seek out the activity, but when it happens, I embrace it, and love bonding with my fellow waiters in the process. perhaps I should become a professional line-waiter for hire now that I’ve been retired for two weeks.

  2. Waiting for things is always so hard! I am glad you are not waiting for too many things now Ann!

  3. I know you make the most of each day, Ann.
    Yesterday, a crown I’ve had for 20 years came off a lower molar. The dentist’s office said the soonest they could get me in is Wednesday. I’m waiting for a fix that will allow my tongue to not rub up against that rough gap.

    I’ve taken a cross-Canada train years ago when it was still possible to catch a north-bound train from Winnepeg to Churchill. You will love it anyway. As for waiting, I am probably one of the few who love waiting in the doc’s waiting room – always have a book. As a matter of fact, sometimes I will go early so I get a little more time of uninterrupted “waiting.” 🙂

  5. I am lookong forward to seeing you and Aaron. Are you going to do the Vancouver French festival?

  6. I’d been waiting for the weekend; it’s finally here. Now I can wait for your next blog post, and to hear about your trip through the Rockies.
