Waiting is tough!

It's a strange thing when you are trying to connect with someone and work through a problem using e-mail. You press send and then you wait. If an answer comes back you move. If they don't answer, you are left with conjecture alone. You wait for the reply to come. Every time your inbox notifies you of incoming mail, there is anticipation waiting to see if it is them. Then there is either movement or let-down. Silent treatment is a hard thing to deal with when you are relating face to face. With face to face meetings and on the telephone, you know your message was conveyed. When you send a e-mail, you just wait, and waiting can be long.

At other times in my life I have had to learn the waiting game. It is never fun, but it is instructive. It also allows you to practice contentment as letting go of control.
