This is what everyone seems to be doing.....waiting.....

You know how somedays, your in a funk, your just not focused and feel a bit low brow, you drive a couple of blocks and you don't quite remember driving them or you just don't seem..."quite right"? I had one of those days today.

Somethings bugging me and I just can't seem to put a target on it. I went through my complete "to do" list, its not that. I looked at some stacks of files with future division projections, cash flows and even reviewed our marketing plan and some existing contracts. No sand grains there.

Was it personal related ? No...all fine with that. Was it pet related ? No they are living the life of Riley.

Maybe it was something somebody said ?

Cars got a new dent ?

I gained 5 pounds ?

No, no and NO !

Then finally it hit me, like a small lighting bolt. Epihany and wonderkind converged at a point in space and time to reveal itself.

I missed a birthday, a milestone birthday in fact of a dear friend. A mentor, a sister in business and in life, a kindred spirit as well. So to remedy the wrong, I called her immediately. In about a half an hour she rang me back and I apologized profusely, I was near mortified. After a couple of minutes of girl to girl gabbing, she said something I will forever remember.

"Eileen, the very definition of a milestone birthday is that of a notable event that causes some change to occur or that marks a specific point in the development of a person or project. With respect to that change, its not a day or a date that marks the overall importance, its how we embrace it, respect it and enjoy it when the time comes". "God love you for thinking of me".

So as I am sitting here thinking of that conversation. My mind drifted to my friends here on the forum, in our POET club here, anxious, patience running thin, wanting even a teaspoon sample of whats going on behind the scenes. All I can say is that when all the key developments are revealed, or have begun to be revealed, we shall all be revelling in the facts and historical importance of them.That there is a reason for the apparent delay or depth of duration in the plan, which shall benefit us all in many ways, it just doesnt seem that way right now. Its going to change though, and very soon, so remember these days of angst. Its a great lesson in humaness. Which will be easily swamped in a tidal wave of euphoria.

You have my word on it........!
