I see that our great minds are thinking alike! I’m totally on-board with this subject, as you know. And I agree — boredom can happen to anybody, even people who are happy/content with the major aspects of their lives.

Bored..nope not yet. I think I need to slow down a bit first, however I was bored not too long ago and I started running. Sometimes you just never know what will come out of the “boredom.”

I will work on what we talked about on Thursday, so I’m excited about that.

I am volunteering for Girls on Track, which I love and can’t wait to jump in.

Going outside of my comfort zone is definitely trying out for the Atlanta Roller Derby — I’m excited but it’s not something I’d usually do.

What else? I might talk to some pole dance classes to see about becoming a part time instructor, I’m nervous about that but that would definitely be another thing for me to do.

This year is all about challenging me, challenging others (positively) and find out what my own, true purpose is for right now.

Great post.

I think that my new obsession with cooking has something to do with ennui. If you would have seen how excited I got when I found whole brie at sam’s yesterday, I think you would probably agree. I haven’t been that excited about anything in a long time.

I love the volunteer one.
when Im bored it is so often that Im just SICK OF ME and my own sh**

focusing wholly on others for a bit (and not the others of my family :)) definitely energizes me.
