Here is a new activity for you if you are having to wait somewhere or just bored.
Try to put yourself into someone else's body, now be vareful don't stare, but look at them carefully then move in. Me, I am always attracted to a woman with children, mostly because it's easy for me, I've been there. But what usually happens to me is I can't resist and get up to say something encouraging or even offer a small favor. Pick up for them, hold something for a Mom, trying to control everything, even just a hang in there, it get easier, for a Mom with young kids. But the exercise of transfer into another can also bring many interesting side effects.
Try a homeless person, that one really gets to me. I promise you will no longer be bored.

I wish you had told me that when I used to wait around endlessly for my friend who was hardly ever on time and hardly ever reliable. Because I pride myself on my time keeping, I of course expect everyone else to follow suit, sadly I am disappointed many times, so I am usually left standing around bored waiting and waiting. But I will definitely try that out, thank you for sharing, sometimes by doing this it helps you reassess your own life and just how many blessings we continue to ignore.

It is the "feel good" factor that works its magic here. Definitely worth a try.

It's a good suggestion, savypat. But my problem now is how to have enough time for my activities.
I don't have enough time for my online activities that is why there are times that I have to cut my sleeping time but this got me very tired.
Have a nice day!

That's interesting. You gave me an idea. I love to write, especially creative stories. This would be a wonderful oppportunity to do something like this when I'm at the market, at the beauty shop, at the dentist, out for dinner-----anywhere. This could be such a creative experience for me. Thanks for the idea.

I never get bored and I always have something or the other to do. When I am waiting for someone somewhere also, I always will have my alternatives ready if they seem to be coming a little late. I am a multitasking person and I do not like being sitting somewhere simple and all. But then, sitting simply and having nothing to do happens when I go out for a vacation out of my state. That time, I will be waiting for bus or something. At that time, I will try to do things that you have mentioned. I will try to give company for someone who is homeless and buy them a meal or something. that way they will be happy and I will be satisfied that I had something to do that day.
