Sometimes things take over and your daily routine gets overcome by events. Spent 8 hours in the emergency room (Not for me, everything is fine and worked out) yesterday…Bored out of my mind. I don’t spend a lot of time on social media and my phone was just about dead. So there was not a lot to do. Boredom ensues… But as I say, when life gives you lemons, make lemon drops (Martini’s). Boredom is a GOOD thing. I suggest everyone find the time to do it. I think that boredom is a catalyst for creativity, a self-defense mechanism. I had some solid boredom time racked up yesterday. my creativity gas tank is filled up I literally can wait to start creating (But I have to wait, work, and all ya know?) Patience too is another lesson boredom teaches us. I believe it was Marcus Aurelius that said “If it’s endurable, endure it. stop complaining.” Here I am enduring and embracing it.

I actually prefer boredom to an exciting day now, because excitement doesn’t necessarily mean fun, lol. And like you said, boredom is a great precursor to creativity, and the mind needs that stillness before it can start churning. Anyway, thanks for this post!
