The Waiting Place…..

One of our favorite Dr. Seuss books is “Oh The Places You’ll Go”. When Ethan was little he had us read it over and over to the point that to this day you could start with the first line of a page and Brendon or I could retell the story verbatim.


Well today it hit me. We have headed to that dreaded waiting place Dr. Seuss talks about. The most useless place.

The Waiting Place…..

….. for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go

or the mail to come, or the rain to go

 or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow

or waiting around for a Yes or No

 or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite

or waiting for the wind to fly a kite

or waiting around for Friday night

or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake

 or a pot to boil, or a Better Break

 or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants

or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.

 Everyone is just waiting.

Then the book goes on

NO! That’s not for you!

 Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying.

 You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

So……

I'm tired of Waiting.  Tonight we are having a party!  A January is over and February is here party!  Life is too short to play the waiting game.   Party On!!!!
