The issue, he says, is how we respond to boredom: "We can avoid boredom, in which case we develop habits of distraction. Or we can heed our boredom, and develop habits of attention."

I guess in my situation, I don't feel that I'm avoiding boredom. I don't have time for it. It isn't distractions that keep bordom away from me, it is living my everyday life where boredom isn't anywhere around to even need distractions.

I don't find myself ever bored....at least not anymore....I am finding life around me so exciting that there isn't a place for boredom in my life. I like it this way....it sure is different from the life of ruts that just breed boredom & a need to deal with it.

Just my thought on the thought for the day,
Debbie
