Remember that within "bored" can often be found "peaceful".

How can we be bored, when we can paint..... especially if we've never really painted since we were kids and "can't paint".

How can we be bored, when we can take a walk in nature and just notice everything we pass... notice our surroundings, our physical sensations, the way our body feels, the earth underfoot?

How can we be bored, when we can offer to help someone. Our neighbor whose porch could be shoveled, a child who needs a mentor because he has no father, a homeless shelter who needs volunteers, random strangers who could use a smile as we walk down the street....


How can we be bored when we can always find a way to improve our surroundings... decorate a room, organize a shelf, tidy up a yard, get a few piles of laundry done.

Within "bored" can often be found great reward.....
