Still Waiting!

For the record, I'm still just sitting around, waiting for AF so I can schedule (then wait for) my saline u/s, which will be performed to confirm what I am 90% sure is true.

CD25 and I haven't even ovulated.

I hope there's an extra special reward in heaven or on earth for patient waiters like me.

Here's some inspirational quotes posted by a gal on the MA Yahoo! Group:


I've started to realize that waiting is an art, that waiting achieves
things. Waiting can be very, very powerful. Time is a valuable thing.
If you can wait two years, you can sometimes achieve something that
you could not achieve today, however hard you worked, however much
money you threw up in the air, however many times you banged your
head against the wall. . .

--"The Courage to Change" by Dennis Wholey

The people who are most successful at living and loving are those who
can learn to wait successfully. Not many people enjoy waiting or
learning patience. Yet, waiting can be a powerful tool that will help
us accomplish much good.

We cannot always have what we want when we want it. For different

reasons, what we want to do, have, be, or accomplish is not available
to us now. But there are things we could not do or have today, no
matter what, that we can have in the future. Today, we would make
ourselves crazy trying to accomplish what will come naturally and
with ease later.

We can trust that all is on schedule. Waiting time is not wasted

time. Something is being worked out - in us, in someone else, in the
Universe.

We don't have to put our life on hold while we wait. We can direct

our attention elsewhere; we can practice acceptance and gratitude in
the interim; we can trust that we do have a life to live while we are
waiting - then we go about living it.

Deal with your frustration and impatience, but learn how to wait. The

old saying, "You can't always get what you want" isn't entirely true.
Often, in life, we can get what we want - especially the desires of
our heart - if we can learn to wait.

Today, I am willing to learn the art of patience. If I am feeling

powerless because I am waiting for something to happen and I am not
in control of timing, I will focus on the power available to me by
learning to wait.

--"The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie



That said, I'm trying my darnedest to just live my life. I have plenty going on to keep me busy. I am calm; I am patient.
