The In between

There is a special time. The time between finding out of something yet to come, and the time of it's arrival.

On a large scale, it might be the time between finding out you are expecting a child, and the birth of that child. On a smaller scale it might be the time between when you place an order for pizza and the time when your door bell rings and the culinary goodness arrives.

I like the in between. I'm there now.

It is sort of a point when the decision has been made, but the consequence of that decision has not yet manifested itself.

I've ordered a bike. It's not here yet, but it's coming. While I want the bike and don't yet have it, I like the time in-between knowing that other than a dire circumstance, my bike will come to fruition. I will get that bike in a week or two.

It's nice knowing that.

I'm "in-between". My new bike should have been done this past weekend. Haven't heard anything new yet. The email saying, "It's done", could come at any minute. The anticipation is killing me!

Ya I was thinking about your "in-between" when I was writing this. Your "in-between" is certainly a littel more exciting than mine. I can't wait to see your new bike and hear how it rides!
