Waiting is a virtue

If it isn't a virtue, it should be. You learn a lot while you wait. How many breaths you take in a minute; how badly you are in need of a manicure; how dirty your eyeglasses can get just by sitting on your face; when the last time it was you polished your shoes with actual shoe polish; how many teeth you have in your mouth; how many stitches are on the flap of your purse; how many boards are in the floor; how many lamps with lightbulbs are in your house; how many cobwebs are hanging from the molding.
