Waiting

Attended a ex-collegemate's wedding dinner yesterday. They've been together since high school and she's even 2 years older than me. Guess how many years they've spent together before this big day? 15 years. I asked one of other ex-collegemate (who's one year younger than me) who attended the dinner with her husband and her 17-months old twins, "how long have you been together till today since you both met?"

I watched Ghost Whisperer after came back from the event. Coincedentally both Mel and Jim were on the similar topic, except they were talking about "having a baby". Mel said she's not ready to have a baby of her own, giving the excuse that she's still young and have plenty of time for that. Rick and his late wife Katie once stuck on the same matter too, until Katie crashed in an accident one day and all the "plenty of time" become none at once.

How long have I spent with him until today? What are we waiting to get married and to have our kids? We aren't waiting though, we are planning and moving accordingly. We aren't delaying anything, rather taking steady steps towards the goal.

Isn't life a never ending journey of exploration and realization? No rush and no delay. Baby steps are important, never take things for granted.
