Good things happen to those who wait


 Worst things to wait for:
  • waiting on a long check out line
  • a phone call from a friend when you need their advice ASAP
  • a page to download, ahhh!
  • your turn at the doctor's office 
  • waiting for test results
  • a waiter. There is something inherently wrong with waiting on a waiter
  • lunch break
Best things to wait for:
  • stuff to show up in the mail that you ordered online
  • a fun vacation you’d been planning for weeks
  • boyfriend to come home
  • anniversaries
  • my birthday!
Worth waiting for forever:
  • Someone who loves you just the way you are.


 

Breathe

Breathe. Remove the idea that you have a "right" to live, and every instant becomes a precious gift. Every moment is a treasure, every touch exquisite, every smell is perfume, every sight a beautiful painting. Every breath a blessing. Breathe.
