Bored? I'm Over It.

I can't count the number of times I wish I was able to be in more than one place at a time. At any given moment, I feel like there are several different places I'd like to be and things I'd like to be doing. Then I see people who are on Facebook or hear people say they are bored.

We have more opportunities to keep ourselves occupied and entertained than any generation in history. Bored? Really? Can there be anything more sad that people who have the world at their fingertips still expressing discontent with their cicumstances?

When I was on vacation in Florida back in November, I remember I had one evening that I was "bored" for about 15 minutes or so. It was the weirdest feeling. I didn't know what to do with myself. But at the prompting of my wife and daughter, I did something (late night Wal-Mart run), and I haven't been bored since.

Life is short. We don't have long here, so we need to make the most of it. Time is the most precious commodity we have. Trade it for something worthwhile. And by all means, if you're going to waste it, or worse, do something you consider "killing time" -- please don't tell me. I will mourn the loss.
