February

Dear Friends and Family,

It's February. It's one month into the new year. Time slips by faster and faster.

Where do I want my February to go?

I'm not sure. It would be easy to set up four things on a to do list and then do one each weekend, but things like Weight Watchers take time.

I'm going to go all Dr. Seuss on you - there's a book I bought for myself at one point and in it he refers to The Waiting Place...

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a 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 a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for 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.

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, my goal for February is to figure out:

1. specifically what I am waiting for
2. what I need to do to shorten the waiting time to as short as possible so I am ready to hit the gas when I am done waiting

That is my goal for February.


Cheers!
