I got my hair cut today and my nails done. (My friends will laugh. They think that is all I ever do.) And yes, my toes can be seen from space.
I see my dad once a week or more. I cook and hang with my husband. I talk to my (local) niece and nephew often. I meet with one sister or another and have plans to go shopping with my 81 year old aunt. I am making plans to see 2 local pieces of theatre, both to support actors I know and love. I am investing time in a theatre company I think will become important. I haven't cleaned my house or gone through all those boxes in the garage. I'm just too busy! (But, there they are. More to do!)
Waiting can be active.
