Here’s something NOT to think about: Waiting.
It seems that we are always waiting for something. For lunchtime. For a reply. For a movie release. For the right person. For…anything. Once whatever "it" is arrives, another “it” can immediately take the place. We are forever looking ahead to the next thing we anticipate, need or desire. Oh sure, it’s good to live in the moment, that whole ball of wax. But even that positive attitude doesn’t erase the fact that we mark dates on our calendars for upcoming events. Try not to think about the ever continuous process of intervening time between where you are now and what you want to occur.

HA. In order to meet with/get something signed by writer/director Kevin Smith, I once stood in the line, to get into the line, to get into the line, to get into the line to get into THE line. No joke, no exaggeration. And I didn't even want anything signed. I wanted to give him something I made for him. With much luck, I managed to squeeze time and hand him the "OMG! Bear is driving!! How can that be?!?" shirt and truly taken aback that what I thrust at him didn't have to be signed, he said, "Thank you! Thank you very much!" I said, "No, thank you," melted and left.
