9 of 52 Waiting

Its been a weird week,  lots of things in limbo ... so I sit here in my office doing things like filing & bookkeeping (HATE bookkeeping), practice my forms, and wait for responses from lawyers, banks, insurance agents, clients, family members, friends etc.  I find this kind of thing annoying as I would just like to get 'it' done.  However it is good practice for me ... I have been working on 'waiting' for the whole of last year and now into this one.   I have to wait for the lead when dancing, wait for other people to make decisions (I have opted out of being the one who plans everything) and wait for other people to finish talking.  I know its kind of a strange task to set for yourself but I have come to the realization that I actually prevent other peoples development and growth by butting in and taking over.   Along with this goes my tendancy to give advice and verbal commentary on everything ... I am waiting for someone else to talk, so to everyone that needs to practice talking and social skills or just needs someone to listen to them ... I invite you to talk to me and I will practice my 'waiting' and 'listening' (another aspect of waiting) skills.
