How many times I’ve said, “I can’t wait until school is out.” Or “I can’t wait until I lose 20 lbs”, “I can’t wait until Friday, then I can have fun.”
There are so many things we tell ourselves that when this or that is over we will be happier. Or when this or that comes life will be better.
I spent my whole life telling myself I can’t wait until… I guess one has to get old to really realize what this means. I saw this meme on Facebook this morning and it spoke to me.
I kept thinking that if I got my house cleaned, the laundry done and bills paid I’d have time to read, write, play with art stuff, go to the movies …
What if I hadn’t waited until? What if I’d written more, painted more, played more? What if I had stopped waiting until… ? Who was I trying to make happy?
