Are you ever bored?

[Reinbeau]

I think about this every once in awhile. I never ever am bored. I have so much to do, never mind what I have to do, I have lots that I want to do! During the spring, summer and fall I've got so many gardening projects out there I don't have time to stop, never mind be bored. What about you?

What IS bored.....what does it mean??
No, really! Growing up we NEVER said bored or we were put to work with more chores around our mini-farm or hustled outside with a warning not to come in until dinner or we would have to clean our rooms AGAIN.
lol

I am only bored here @ work, it has been slow.

Now @ home even if I am doing nothing I am not bored because doing nothing is
a.) Fun
b.) Unusual
c.) Never really happens cause if I am doing nothing it means I am putting off doing something I just plain old don't want to do so....... I am busy procasternating.

Ha! normajean, I do believe you've got a good point there! We weren't allowed indoors at all when we were little, and if we bugged mom too much, we ended up with chores, too! I guess I learned early to not even consider thinking I was bored!

Ditto, here! I taught my boys to never, ever say "bored" to me! I always told them there are no boring times, only boring people. Folks with intelligence and imagination don't "get bored" for more than a few seconds, then they hatch an idea for a new activity....be it a project, a chore, or a way to have fun or relax!

DD told us she was bored once, we told her she was just needing to learn about 'peacefulness'. She is learning to love it. She was a drama queen, now she is actually liking peace and quiet. Sometimes I just love to sit outside and look at the trees and nature. It's easy when you've lived without trees for awhile. (Feel sorry for you Midwesterners, ya don't know what you're missing!)
