great idea. yes, i agree waiting is difficult -- which is why i don't do it. *little grin*. when my partner G was terminal, that's when i realized that what matters is what i do each day, not what i want to do in the future. since then my life has happened in the present, and i am much, much better for it. my life isn't at all what i imagined it would be 20 years ago. but it's much more my life, created bit by bit, every day, from small, conscious acts.

so i am all in favour of filling one's days with meaning, each day a little, rather than planning to some day do something really awesome, if only condition X is met... oh, and smell the narcissi -- it's that time, and they don't last long. :)
