What is Bored?

I honestly don't remember the last time I was bored. My son says it and my husband says it once in a while and I just look at them and wonder "How can you be bored?" How can anyone be bored in this day and age? Every once in a while I daydream about being bored. What would that be like to not have anything to do? Obviously if you are a mom, you have not been bored since the day your kids were born. Wouldn't it be nice to be bored? That would mean you could take a nap or just sit and read or take a nice long walk. I have to consciously set time aside to do something for myself or I would be going 24/7. I never run out of things to do or places to go or tasks that need to be handled. It would be nice to run out of things to do and suddenly say "I'm bored!" I don't think I will ever be bored. I treasure those times when I am able to just sit and do nothing. At these times I am far from being bored. I am busy soaking up the peace and quiet or letting myself re-energize. I have pretty much cured my family of saying "I'm bored" as they are now assigned a task when I hear them say it. They have learned that "bored" is like a bell going off for me signaling someone needs something to do. I am always more than happy to help someone from being bored.
