Very greative cartoon, James!

Thanks James! great cartoon too! It made me think hard on my own definition :)
mweinmann - 2009-04-07: 07:39:00
The cartoon was very thought provoking....that sometimes, we might want to wait or that what we are waiting for might not be the "answer" to our wishes in the end.
Thank you. I guess the feeling is that sometimes we're lucky enough NOT to get what we wanted. ~ James
