Well today is another boring day. I look forward to the weekend all week as I dont have to work and when I get here I have nothing to do. My friends are all busy all the time. How can they find so much to do? I dread people asking me on monday what I did on the weekend and them telling me about their interesting lifes. I keep reminding myself noone ever died of boredom :) Im gonna take the dog for a walk soon so that should be good, bit of sunshine.

In my boring day though I found an interesting article for people like me who either feel there is a lot of sadness in the world and/or for people who work with lots of broken people. I am often asking myself if you are seeing people in crisis everyday how can you stay happy and positive. I think you have to deposit back in the positive like a mental bank. Its a professional view and I think think this article is very interesting if anyone is interested heres the link

Dear Toffe, I am not sure if you are married or have children. But here goes. I know the meaning of a boring weekend, mine is cause I have children and at times it is just easier to stay at home or the simple fact we can't afford to do anything too much.

But even thought my weekends can be boring at times, they are still often busy. May I suggest you take up a hobby so when you are feeling bored you hav that hobby to do. Wether it is photography, gardeing, dancing, sports, going to a museum. I am not sure what you are interested in but how about thinking about something you would really enjoying to do, that is achievable and plan that next weekend you go and do it, and don't let yourself get out of it. Even if it is going for a drive and visiting a relative you haven't seen for a long time.

Take care
Trace
