If you’re bored, you’re boring.

What bores you?

I do not have enough downtime in my life to get bored over anything. Everything I choose to do brings fulfillment to my life in one way or another. That being said, I do not participate in things that would have the opportunity to bore me. However if I did, these are things that I have no interest in, whatsoever:

Watching golf or tennis. These are participating sports, in my opinion. Watching live is a better option but totally boring unless I’m physically playing them.

That’s about all that I can think of.

Sports

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

No longer in use

It’s not that I outgrew or lost interest it’s because I fell and broke my back. I used to play softball, volleyball, wallyball, dance and teach a dance class.

After I broke my back, all of those things became almost impossible to do or even if I could, I feared re-injury.

It’s challenging when my kids, friends or family members treat me like I have no clue what it’s like to be in a sport of any kind. I want to scream from the roof tops of what I used to be able to do. However, I find myself sinking into those thoughts and feelings because no one really cares what I used to do. They only care about what I can do now.

It’s like I’m someone I used to know, as if this new version of me is more like an antique and the old version of me is brand new. They’re both me. I need to accept that and just move in to the next season of my seasoned life.
