Sittin in the waiting room

This waiting room inspires mixed emotions.  I come here every 4 months so I'm used to it, yet it can bring a spirit Dow.  But the first radiant smiling face I see is a dear old friend - rekindled through this journey.  

Then I pass time scrolling through my Facebook timeline and am grounded and inspired by the awesome people I know. Great achievements, small successes, hard times endured, humor abounding,babies, puppies, rock shows to look forward too.  And I am so grateful for the distraction and perspective it provides.    As I sit in this waiting room that I didn't wish to be in.
