The waiting is over.  The waiting is truly over.

• The clock stopped
• The bus arrived
• The pot is boiling
• The movie started
• The bill’s been paid
• The alarm clock is buzzing
• Godot is standing in front of you
• The cat’s out of the bag
• The light turned green
• It’s been taken off “the back burner”
• Your thumbs are now free
• The curtain’s rising
• I found a fourth
• The coin’s been tossed
• Opportunity has knocked
• The ship has docked
• The ice has melted
• Your time has come
• The mailman is here
• The gate’s closing
• The child made curfew
• The sun has set
• It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
• The check’s arrived

The waiting is truly over.  It’s time.  Time for…

• Overdue forgiveness toward a friend
• Overdue forgiveness toward yourself
• That unsaid word of gratitude
• That unwritten “thank you” note
• An emptying of grudges
• A release of comparisons
• That awkward confrontation
• That unread book
• That dreamt trip never taken
• That excellence in work you promised yourself yesterday
• Release of silly, nonproductive thoughts
• Fulfilling a promise you’ve made
• The peace and contentment you expect tomorrow

The baby’s been born.  It is time.
