waiting

Most of life is spent waiting.  Waiting in line.  Waiting in traffic.  Waiting for the next big thing.  After so much waiting, there comes a time in life when you stop waiting for the next big thing and eventually come to the realization that maybe all the big things are done.  Maybe all the fun and excitement has passed you by and it's time to accept the mundane.  Is this what adulthood is?  Because I have to say, if so, that's pretty lame.

I had kind of settled in on the notion that maybe all my "next big things" were done.  Now, I'm not so sure.  I think there are definitely some more adventures to come.  I think the adult part of it is no longer waiting for that big thing to happen.  It's figuring out a way to make it happen and then relishing in the moment that it does.

There's no room for waiting anymore.  There's a whole lotta doing to be done around here.  Time to roll up the sleeves and get to work creating that wow factor of life.  Challenge accepted.  It won't be easy, but when we've got our feet up, soaking up the majestic Rocky Mountains some day, it'll all be worth it.  

Keep calm and carry on.
