I’m sitting here waiting for the 2nd showing of the day on the condo. Another one to go after that today. Not a bad thing, but a bit nerve-wracking. We’re up to 6 showings, which means that we’re getting close, I hope, but each one is scary and exciting and takes a bit out of you. It’s all part of the waiting process for selling, a process that can take days or months or heaven-help-us years.

Plus I’ve been sick this week, which means a lot of laying around and waiting to get well. Nothing like a 5 day weekend ruined by a good old case of the flu. I’m recovering as fast as I can, but even so more waiting.

It seems like a lot of life is waiting. I waited 10 years to get my first novel published, longer than that to meet the right person to spend the rest of my life with. Waiting in line, waiting our turn, seems to be indoctrinated into our psyche at a very young age.

Even when you’re waiting, try to remember to live life! I spent the week in bed, reading more Gardner books for the new biography, I’m finishing up this blog post while waiting for the next showing and going to get groceries during the next. Be sure to fill up your days with wonderful things in 2010.
