Flashback Friday – What to Do in the Waiting
We’ve all had to wait. Wait in line for a package, for test results. Waiting isn’t fun. We are impatient people. We want instant turnaround. And those are just small things. It becomes even harder when you’re waiting for something of greater significance. Perhaps it’s waiting for future plans, a legal matter, or for aContinue reading “Flashback Friday – What to Do in the Waiting”
