Anxiously Waiting

What is going to happen today, tomorrow, or the day after is interesting, but not really useful. The only thing that is controllable is what you do now. Suddenly, I feel pressure to write strong words so you don’t instantly move on. I think about earlier posts that included ‘out-of-focus’ photographs used as today’s beauty. Striving for perfection is a burden.

Likewise perfect efficiency in time management is impossible. Most of us waste a good portion of our lives anxiously waiting for something to happen.

As a confession, I was anxiously waiting for the impending arrival of my new granddaughter. Wasting my time. I then decided to write a post. During the writing process I realized the truth.

Your best effort may include circumstantial distractions. Production goals and plans must acknowledge our human imperfections.

The best we can do is establish good habits. Habits tend to bring us back to important basics... like loving your wife. It is important to waste time every day thinking about the needs and perspectives of those you love. Maybe they will think about your needs from your perspective.

Someone would then know the great value of doing my laundry. My wasting time might include anxiously waiting for God to bring such a person into my life.

There is a time to dream. There is a time for action. You decide.

Here is today’s beauty. (In focus)
