Boredom...

Lately I have started to feel bored with my daily routine; wondering what am I doing with my life, maybe I should be doing more. My week is fairly simple: Tuesday and Friday mornings I have water exercise with Mom; Thursday morning I have tai chi followed by talk therapy and a massage.   Mondays and Wednesdays are free. I do my cooking every afternoon for the evening meal. Weekends I cook brunch and dinner.

I am left feeling I should be doing more--more housework, maybe a volunteer job, something, anything. Instead I spend hours scrolling through Facebook on my iPad. Granted, it calms me, keeps me stable. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm addicted to Facebook--it is just something to occupy the time in between my activities.

My husband is encouraging me to read more, but as I indicated in an earlier post I have great difficulty reading books. I stopped listening to audiobooks I'm not sure why. I think I am in a funk. Spring is on the horizon and that means clean up...something I struggle with. But I am committed this year to clean up the outside of the house. Bagging leaves, cleaning up the porch. I get tired easily but I am going to push through.

I suppose I should be grateful that I don't have to work and my husband takes care of us with his investment income. But lately I have been bored. I need more activities. Maybe it is a good sign that I am bored, maybe this will push me to expand my horizons. We'll see what happens. I want change!
