It’s Ok to be Bored!

If you have kids, you might be familiar with the phrase “I’m bored!” And if you’re like most of us adults, we long for the days when we thought we were bored…when summer days seemed to last forever . . .

While boredom could lead to trouble, sometimes it’s OK to be bored. In today’s world of 24/7, rushing here and there, cartoons all day and night, computers and video games, sometimes being bored is a good thing.

Next time you hear “I’m bored” tell them “good, it’s good to be bored sometimes.” Use these times to appreciate nature, to take time just to sit and relax or to gaze at the sky and figure out what shapes the clouds look like. Sometimes having nothing to do is just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes we all need to be “bored” to appreciate what we have.
