Hurry Up and Wait

As I sat at the computer this morning with my coffee Hurry Up and Wait comes to my mind.

See Sara & I already have been to the grocery store this morning only to find out it wasn't open yet. Hurry up and wait.

She was devastated. And I suppose looking back I can see why. She and I always go to the grocery store together.

She walks beside the cart, always promising to "not run away" until temptation proves to great and she runs off to hide from me.

She kisses the items she likes on the shelves and has been seen hugging yogurt in the dairy case on numerous occasions.

She bats her eyes and asks for a piece of lunch meat while at the deli and cookies from the bakery. Of course she is upset when we were right at the front doors only to have to turn around and come back home because the store was closed.

It is Natal Day here in Nova Scotia, I suppose the stores are on holiday hours. Funny how when you are on vacation you don't think of the actual holidays that might lie within that time.

Hurry up and wait.

Yesterday we brought Jessica to her Choir Camp in Berwick. She will be there for a whole week. We arrived a whole hour early. Hurry up and wait.

We were first in line and one of the first to leave the campgrounds. Hurry up and wait.

And I wonder why I am so concerned with getting things done and out of the way so I can say they are done?

Is it to create space for whatever might lie next?

Is it because I am impatient?

Is it simply because I am acting as "the spirit" moves me?

Or is it because I'm anal about being late? LOL

Who knows? However it seems in my life I am always in the mode of Hurry Up and Wait.

What will tomorrow bring? Another Day... there is always more.
