People who say they're bored are boring. With so much to absorb at our fingertips via the internet, books, magazines, TV, radio, how can anyone possibly be bored? It's beyond me. Spend some time with on elderly relative, friend or neghbor. They have so much to offer from life experience and are rarely asked for their opinion ... and boy, do they have opinions! Days, weeks, months go by and the only living soul they see regularly is the postman or, if they don't live at home, the people who tend to them because they're paid to do so. Thank God for families who care for their own and even if they have to be placed in special care, they regularly receive visits from people who love them and haven't forgotten them.
Not sure why that was on my mind but there it is.
Life is such a whirlwind these days. Everyone pulling from all directions and only so much of me to go around. I'm tempted to let myself only be pulled in the direction of monetary compensation when the richer and greater reward is spending time with people I truly love and who truly and unconditionally love me ... and there are many.
I don't think anyone is actually reading my sporadic blogs but maybe it just does me good to write these things down occasionally. It feels right, anyway.
I'm so grateful for my family and friends and thank God for them every day.

I didn't know you had this. I have no idea when you will actually see this comment, but I would love for you to write more. I can see my writing in yours. It is a gift I didn't know that I had until the last few years. I didn't really know how to use it. Apparently, my blog means a lot to people, so for now, that is how I am using it. I love you more than you probably will ever know.
