Sometimes We Wait

---

A trip to San Antonio…

Wouldn’t be the same without a walk to Historic Market Square…admire the county courthouse…the former governor’s mansion…stop in…at Goodwill…

Historic Market Square…a little world of its own…the colors…the wares…the best fish tacos fish taco lover me…has ever eaten…

As is tradition…searched for yet another ceramic animal to join the wall decor…lizard…frog…butterfly…toucan…welcomed Mr. Turtle into the fold…

Took a load off…enjoying popcorn and a pop…was approached by a woman…a little disheveled…carrying a stack of papers…

She asked where we bought the popcorn…got a bag herself…sat nearby…making eye contact…talking to herself…

Grabbing her folders…she approached again…can I ask you a favor…she said…

And popcorn eating me paused…and waited…said of course…and waited some more…

And so it is…in life…sometimes we wait for answers…not sure what they will be…a little pang of fear piercing the heart…but know regardless…we will listen…and do our best…to heed the call…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
