It has been my experience that waiting, warps my perception of time. This time, I am hoping the bank takes a long time to get to our stack of papers. Last time I was hoping they would take a long time to get to our stack of papers. Last time they only took a few weeks, and we had to move in a rush. The longer it takes, the longer I am not paying rent. Please take your time, Bank of America!
If the bell is going to ring at your kids school and you are running behind, those few minutes seem lightning-bolt fast. If you are stopped at a stop light, the same amount of time can drag on, and on. If you are carrying your first baby around in your belly, each day is long. If you are carrying your second baby around in your belly, the same amount of days are seemingly shorter.
If my perspective and perception of time is what makes waiting short or long, then I am going to try to "suffer" during this time of waiting. Will that stretch it out?
