This week a friend of mine updated her status on Facebook saying something to the affect that being bored means you have nothing to worry about. I thought about this, mostly because I can find life to be boring.
I’m not the type that looks for drama to keep me busy. In fact I have no patients for people like that. I cure my boredom by doing things. Being bored lead me to grad school, wich helped me professionally. I also built my own house. That kept me unbored for about 14 months and also begging to be bored. I’ve volunteered my time and as a result my parents adopted a little girl with no family. I’ve gone on vacation, although that proves to be a short-term and expensive solution. Then I’ve moved, took on a new job in a new town and when that got old, I started working on the house I bought.
Now I’m back to being bored. Last fall I bought a little speed boat that when it’s not at the mechanic, I love taking out. Actually the boat doesn’t fit in the “things to be unbored” since it really fits in the “money-pit” category. Anyway, I am back to finding the next big thing in my life. I haven’t figured out what is next, but hope I figure it out soon, since I hate being bored.
