There are many things that make us wait.

We wait for the light to turn green.
We wait for dinner to be ready.
We wait for a party to begin.
We wait for the sun to shine.
We wait for hot water in the shower.
We wait for someone to say “I love you”.

But, waiting for a loved one to arrive at
the airport is in a class all its own.

My youngest daughter was due to arrive at
the airport in Budapest at noon. She was
joining us for the holidays. The terminal
was rather crowded and while I waited, I
noticed the faces of what waiting looks like.

Many people appeared pensive and concerned.
Some looked anxious with a look of longing
to have their loved one walk through the doors.
For two hours I waited for her to arrive.

I was happy for the families that were united.
Smiles and hugs gave a sense of relief and joy
as they greeted each other. Although I don’t
speak Hungarian, I could tell they were saying:
“Welcome, so glad you are here!”
You could taste the gratitude in the air.

There was a two hour delay in New York and my
daughter arrived six hours late. I was more
than grateful to see the whites of her eyes.

I would have waited forever!!

How about you?

Are you willing to wait for yourself to arrive.
Are you waiting to fall in love with yourself?
Are you waiting to be your own best friend?
Are you willing to wait to claim your own
preciousness?

Go ahead and give this little exercise a go:
Walk up to a mirror and say to yourself:
“Welcome home, I am so glad you are here!”

Then have a genuine sense of gratitude and
appreciation of having waited for your
loved one…YOU!

May there be joy in your heart and peace on
the earth!

Love and Laughter, Gena
