I feel sorry for people who didn't grow up with true boredom. The kind of rainy day in the 70s or 80s with only black & white films on TV, nothing to do on a hot Saturday, or empty time after a school day boredom. There was self discovery, reading, experimentation, play - and joy - in that boredom.

Listen I know it’s Monday but what if you started it today It: Daydreaming Screaming Exercising Writing Asking Saying no Saying yes Letting go Cutting ties Running to Paying it off Paying it ahead Paying it back What if you just start today

We had about 14 years where all of us were adults and drank together. Our kids, everywhere . I used to stand there listening to the din, and my Mom or Dad would notice me soaking it up. I always told them “ This won’t last long. You taught me that. Listen.” And they’d smile and hug me. True story.
