On Boredom


Macy took this picture.....in a moment of boredom.



One thing that our kids have learned NOT to say in our house is "I'm bored."
They don't say it because they know my typical answer.
which is something like "Can I tap dance for you or Juggle for you?"....then they usually get an extra chore to do around the house to keep them from being bored.



To me, boredom is a good space to explore your creativity or to just be with your feelings.
It is okay to just sit in silence sometimes.
Hope you like the quote below.
Have a great day!!
love,
Michele


I come not to entertain you with
worldly festivities but to arouse your
sleeping memory of immortality.

inner receptivity


It is not pumping-in from the outside that gives wisdom.
It is the power and extent of your inner receptivity
that determines how much you can attain of true knowledge, and how rapidly.

happiness


Paramahansa Yogananda said: "If you want to be unhappy, no one in the world can make you happy. And if you determine to be happy, no one in the world will be able to make you unhappy."
