Making Good Use of Time

Commuter traffic, what’s a person to do? Time to learn Spanish, maybe French too. The Good Doctors late..glad I’m not bleeding... “Preventing Stress” his waiting room reading. A dozen calls waiting..can you please hold? Draw a self portrait while your growing old. Six people in line, the clerk is so slow… Isometric exercise, no one will know. The dreaded DMV, the lines round the bend.. Read War and Peace , beginning to end. “Patience is a Virtue” , the old saying goes.. How does one find it: Heaven only knows…

Oh you hit my pet peeve with a boulder. Waiting rooms! They are totally crazy! I keep waiting for the crickets to churp while the grass grows to a rendention of the jeopardy theme song. I have no patience, does it show? Loved this!-AA
