I have a lot of emotions and feelings, but boredom isn’t one of them. I guess I find or think about things to entertain myself. I’m lucky in life to be full of things to keep me interested and engaged. I guess we learned that as kids when we were sent out the door and had to make our own fun.

Creating games, building forts in the woods, making contests up, modifying conventional games to new games.

I used to think school was boring. I was just ignoring what I was there for. Luckily, I got excited about learning shortly after.

I find bored to be kind of a sad emotion.

Life is full of opportunities to be bored. Yeah, sitting in traffic is boring for some. I used to see how many personal license plates I could find. Or guessing the year and model of the cars around me. Listening to music and seeing how in tune I could sing and remember lyrics or stay in rhythm playing drums on the steering wheel.

Some people get bored on long drives even when not in traffic. Not me. I love seeing different places. Even the same route to the beach I take, which is just short of a 3-hour drive, I still find interesting. Noting the changes over the decades along the way and stopping at new places.

People in waiting rooms look bored because they have their faces on their phones and frown instead of smiling from talking to the person seated next to them.

And yes, I know the difference between board and bored. I just didn’t have a good shot of a bored person.

Have a good afternoon, everyone.
