I Wait.....

catwhisperer — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 01:42:48 GMT

I am on a wait list for low income housing, wait list for food delivery, wait list for online deliveries, waiting for my stimulus check, waiting in line at the grocery stores. Wait, wait, wait.

"They also serve who stand and wait".

It's a famous quote from the last line of a sonnet written by Milton.

read about it and see the full sonnet here. https://www.englishclub.com/ref/esl/Sayings/Quizzes/Patience/They_also_serve_who_only_stand_and_wait_911.php

I'm sure many of the things you are waiting for will come to you. It's very hard to be facing what you are and waiting for your needs to be met. But good things do come to those who wait. Hope you are blessed with housing and food very soon. Stay strong.

I hope at least some of your waiting is over soon, @catwhisperer. I'm praying it will be. Take care.

I hope your housing wait ends - then everything else falls into place for you.

Keep a positive aura about yourself, for now, there's nothing you can do to change it.

Celebrate when your waiting is over - I really hope you do.

@MoonieBaby....I have been on the housing list for three years and have been told it is another 2+ years wait. So, I wait.

@catwhisperer

I just let out an audible exhale for your housing wait - an eternity.

I wish I could waive a wand and get you "home" right this minute, safe, and sound.

Best I can do is add you to my prayers and though it may not seem like much, I am firmly planted - both feet anchored in staying connected with a higher power.

These dark days it has helped me - and I hope it will help you as well.

Oh and I also as my Grandmothers in the heavens to be guardian angels for those I feel need a lil company too....

Watch out - you might gain a pound or two...My Jewish grandmother will plot along with my Italian grandmother to make sure your belly is full. That was their sole objective whilst among the living!

The funny thing is, I have always been a very impatient person, but have been forced into my current situation of waiting, but am dealing with it.

@MoonieBaby,,,,thank you. You put a big smile on my face and made me laugh. (I cry a lot)

I hope your stimulus check comes tomorrow! And then I hope a miracle happens that you don't have to wait so long for housing.

Hopefully the check will help you along with rent/mortgage. I've heard of apartments giving rent decreases for those who pay on time and they are willing to work with you.

Same for banks with mortgages. Deferring mortgage payments.

I know when I sign on to my banking sites for different credit cards, which I check on every day, they have a prompt asking if I need help due to the corona virus.

I didn't mention that I am in my late 60's, so I don't know how much wait time I have remaining. All I can do is continue to wait until my wait time runs out.

The rich folks in my county are protesting the stay at home orders. I guess they are not used to waiting.

My personal "wait"? I spent last week waiting for a cherished family member to die of Covid19.

Yesterday I got a call that it appears she will beat it.

She is 92.

By the Grace of God, I MAY have the chance to hug her again, after someone decides if it's safe for her AND safe for me to visit. Estimated time frame, about 6 months.

Clearly, we all have our own priorities when it comes to who did what and when and why.
