Are you bored? You can find beauty in life and know that you can find a place of peace and rest in the midst of a fast-paced, never sleeping world. Take the time and connect with others, make time for you alone with no distractions. Enjoy!
2. The Great Escape - Introduction
After talking with my kids who seem to be
bored most days, I came up with a list of things
to do other than play video games. From my
perspective the items on this list can become
an 'escape' from the normal way of work and
industry, being an IT Professional, finding as
many things as possible other than (not
excluding, alas) working on a computer is truly
a place of relaxation. You may do these things
daily already!
