**5. There is nothing wrong with the waiting place.**

One of my favorite authors...and philosophers...is Dr. Seuss. And my favorite book is hands down..."Oh, the Places You'll Go." In it he talks about the waiting place. He describes it this way...

You can get so confused

that you'll start in to race

down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace

and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,

headed, I fear, towards a most useless place.

The Waiting Place...

But then I learned...the waiting place is where you grow. It is where you learn what is important to you. And sometimes it is where you go to heal. Healing may take weeks or months or years. But take your time. When I worked as an emergency medical technician I learned a term call ROR...I forget what legalese it stands for but basically it means you left against doctor's orders and are on your own. Leaving the Waiting Place early is like that...and tearing out stitches hurt worse than having them put in. Stay there as long as you need, keep your heart safe...until you are ready. And if he (she) is the right one they will wait for you to heal or be friend enough to stay by your side while you do.
