The Waiting Place by Eileen Button
Learning to Appreciate Life Little Delays
In this fast paced world, the anomaly is that most everyone is waiting for something. In this book, Eileen Button puts together a series of delightful essays on various waiting places; the day to end, fish to bite, a miracle, the mail, Grandfather’s funeral, children to grow up and much more.
She writes from a heart full of life experiences, she’s refreshingly honest and quite wise. I felt like I was right there with her and sometimes I laughed and sometimes I cried and sometimes I felt frustrated by the delays. The book became like a good friend and I was sorry when it ended.
Besides being enjoyable reading, it would be a very helpful book for those in a waiting place, showing them that they’re not alone. Not only that others have similar experiences, but Eileen shows through her essays how a place of frustration can become a place of discovery and delight.
I look forward to recommending this book to my friends and hope they find it as challenging, comforting and entertaining as I did.
