Frustrated...

I am bummed out.  Yep, bummed.  This past week I read three books in the Lorien Legacies series.  I was under the impression that the last book, The Revenge of Seven was the last book in the series and that I would find out how things "end".  I was wrong.  Apparently there are two more books to come. Oh, and I have to wait two more YEARS for the last one to be released.  AGHHHH...

I guess that that is how it goes sometimes.  I live in a world that wants INSTANT GRATIFICATION. I get mad if the person in front of me is driving the speed limit.  I get frustrated if I have to wait in line at McDonalds and the person in front of me takes a long time to order.  I get miffed if the spiny pinwheel comes on my computer because the internet is slow.

I am reminded that there are many times where slower is better.  I wish that watching the sunset into Lake Michigan could last for an hour, instead of minutes.  I wish that playing golf on a beautiful day in the fall would not be over after 18 holes. I wish that our week at the cottage would not go by so fast.

So I will wait.  I will wait in anticipation.  I will wait for the next book.  And maybe even perhaps re-read the first 5 books.  If I enjoyed them the first time, I am sure I will enjoy them the second time as well...Right?  I mean I never get sick of watching that sun set.
