I’ve been so bored this week. It’s terrible. I usually have ideas for doing a craft or something after work, but when it gets dark, my enthusiasm for it wanes. This week has been extra bad because I haven’t really felt like watching tv or reading either. I think it’s cabin fever. And feeling a bit isolated again.

Tonight I started looking for something in a cabinet drawer of forgotten papers and ran across these right away.

Then I found these gems.

The first items reminded me that I can’t let my boredom stall me from moving forward in getting my crafting side hustle going if that’s really a goal. I’m the only one who can do it. And I can do it even when it gets dark.

The second items reminded me of how connected I always am to my kids, even though I don’t get to see them much. I ended up talking to both of them today. Reading the cards again also showed me how much they think of me.

Finding these items like I did also showed me that a little boredom can be cured by going through junk drawers. Heaven knows I should never get bored again. I’m thankful for these little reminders that pop up when I need them.
