I'M NEVER BORED!!

[Cavemama]

My mother told me something when I was about 16, and it has stuck with me my entire life.  "People who are bored, are boring." 

I am not sure if this was what motivates me to have ten million hobbies and interests.  Perhaps I am just lucky.  But whenever someone says,"I'm bored," that phrase rings in my head. In truth, I don't understand boredom...lack of motivation, perhaps, shee exhaustion, definitely, but boredom...not so much.

I mean, I can always pick up a hula hoop and start hoopng, which is one of my favorite things to do.  I may read a book or a magazine.  I sometimes draw or journal, or design a dress or sew a pillow, pet the cats, climb in a cave, go for a hike, take some photographs, lay on the grass and look up at the trees and sky, go for a swim, call a friend to chat, take a peek at Cafemom, and once the baby is here, even the word boredom may be completely erased ....there is always something to do.

Even if it is just taking a little nap...also one of my favorite things.
