Perspective, Photograph & Quote – Waiting

This Spring, everything has been late in coming into leaf or flower, we’ve waited on just about everything, including the warm weather. I found quite a few quotes on waiting and some lauded the ability to wait while others criticized the tendency. I liked this one by Lincoln…
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
Today I think I will choose to hustle!
