waiting......

How are you at waiting?  It probably depends on what you are waiting for and how long you have to wait - right?  There are some things we might have to wait "a long time" for - like knowing a new baby is arriving but not for several months.  To an adult that is pretty fast but to a child that is 'forever.'  Then there is waiting for the food to arrive when you are hungry.......  Or hurry to get to the appointment only to have to wait.

Or.....like last week.... waiting while a family member is in surgery.  What do you do?  I tend to be knitting and people watching - same as when I'm at the airport.  It was an interesting morning because there were several others also waiting.  Some were scrolling on their phones, children were playing with technology (not sure what you call it) and some were trying to "nap."  Some were actually willing to visit - especially when one person walked past us telling the nurse they gave their height as "6 feet."  I can tell you the person was NOT 6 feet tall!  It did get several of us talking though!

There was also the person doing crochet.  We exchanged patterns.....  Sometimes you learn a new pattern and sometimes you laugh........  An interesting way to "wait."
