Waiting

Waiting is hard, the hardest part, according to Tom Petty

Waiting for the ketchup to comes out of the bottle
Waiting for your food to arrive
Waiting for an approaching storm to break into rain
Waiting for the first big snow of the year
Waiting for Spring
Waiting for an exam to start
Waiting to graduate
Waiting for the first glimpse of someone you are expecting
Waiting for the feel of that first kiss
Waiting for an important meeting to begin
Waiting for the doctor to enter the examination room
Waiting for test results
Waiting for the end of a bad day
Waiting for a movie to begin
Waiting to be done running during a hard run
Waiting to climb into a warm bed after a tiring day
Waiting for the alarm to go off when you are only half-asleep
Waiting for the first swim of the year
Waiting for the first day of school in fall
Waiting to see your kids after work

Waiting for your house to sell
Waiting to decide what to do about your marriage
Waiting to close on your wife's new house
Waiting for the moving truck to come
Waiting for a new beginning
Waiting to be who you want to be
Waiting for happiness

Waiting for the beginning of the rest of your life

I'm done waiting.
