Limbo

October 2, 2009

I think that I am an action oriented person. I like to be in control of my own destiny, and thus if something needs to be done, I will do it. Let me pursue a goal so I may have the opportunity to strive for new heights.

Without giving too many details, let me just say that this past week has been very hard for us. We have some interesting and possibly exciting things coming, but nothing is for certain. That is where I am, in limbo. Waiting. As one of my all time favorite books states:

You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at
break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a 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

I am tired of waiting, but I have no choice. Thus, I will continue to wait and while I wait I can’t seem to sleep well. This whole thing had better resolve soon because I can’t keep living like this!

  1. Wow, I know how you feel! We’ve been in the waiting place for almost a year. Still no end in sight. I *can’t wait* to be out of the waiting place and to get on with life already!!! I can’t wait to FINALLY unpack the boxes that were packed nearly a year ago. Can’t wait to find out where we’ll be living.
    I’ve been sleeping crazy bad lately too. 3am seems to be my new facebook time haha
    Good luck on a speedy resolve to your situation!


  2. Hope it all resolves itself sooner rather than later. I hate that waiting place — though usually these days I bring some knitting and it helps. :)


  3. I have a hard time in the waiting place too :-D Hope things resolve soon and well


  4. Hang in there — things will work out.

    For me, I believe the waiting place to be my natural state. At this point I’ve separated myself from the generalized anxiety of uncertainty. It’s a very liberating feeling.

    (and very Zen, if I do say so myself.)


    • I knew that if anyone would understand the waiting place, it would be you ;-)


      • I am so happy to hear that your waiting place is not like mine!!!
