| 2012 Resolution? |
Here I am...faced with the first day of a new year...what to do. what to think. Memories. Possibilities. New Adventures.
I've been sending out New Year's blessings & spreading the love only to find myself wondering,
"WHERE AM I GOING?"
The one thing I really want to embrace this year, since it's all about resolutions today, it to be present in the moment. To engage in listening, no matter how distracting the situation might be. So, instead of defining, "Where am I going?" I will embrace it by being present & stating simply that, it's definitely NOT going to be boring.
Boring rings as an impeding whine in my house as of late. My children are always complaining about their never ending boredom. I suppose in their world, which is void of cable television for over 4 years now, and my time taxed with other responsibilities, they would be bored. Then I began to ponder that...they aren't the only ones who are bored.
As my children know, when I need to explore something or can't answer a question, I Google it. My life line & salvation from my inpatients of the public library. This of course lead me to a much better place to define "bored", the Urban Dictionary. The socially outcast platform of language explained by a cataclysmic collision of emotion & experiences of random people. Out of 52 bored based definitions, "bored to death" best describes me and "bored to the core" best describes my children.
| 1. | bored to death | 36 up, 2 down |
When a human being has absolutely nothing to do. They feel like they're going to die of boredom because of how bored they are.
Well, the computer crashed, My car is at the shop, My X-Box is old and crummy. I'm freakin BORED TO DEATH!

| 1. | bored to the core | 2 up, 1 down |
very bored, including your guts, especially in the nerd guts
Listening to John shootin yellow laser beams made me not onlybored to the core, it made me bored to the NERD CORE.

Now that I have a foundation of bored...what to do with it. I'm bored remember. OK, back to what I have been distracted from in the first place...scroll up...Oh YEAH!! Where Am I Going?
Of course, I wouldn't know where I'm going, as I'm focused on being bored. I am immersed in "the waiting place". You know the place from "Oh the Places You'll Go?" Waiting for a train to come & plane to go...just waiting. So I'm waiting around for something to happen and ending up bored. Bored. Bored. BORED!
Writing it is making me feel a little like Eeyore. Oh,well.
So....Nope!
That's not for me!
No more of this sitting & waiting...
No matter what happens, I promise, from here on out,
my trip through 2012 won't be boring!!
NOTE TO SELF: Give myself gentle reminders whence engaged in daily distractions & when engaged in not being bored & living vicariously through something at that particular moment...oh yeah...and...HANG ON!!
