My biggest thing as I get older is learning to embrace the boring moments that life has to offer. Those middle of the week everyday moments that often get overlooked because we are simply living for the weekend or those "mountaintop moments". So much of life takes place in the valley and if you aren't paying attention you miss it (to loosely quote Ferris Bueller).
Very true. I realize often boredom is something we struggle with more and more (esp thanks to the Internet), when in fact it's a wildly creative and fruitful part of life.
It's interesting because I often find myself sitting at a web browser thinking "there is nothing to do on the Internet" when really the world is basically at our fingertips. Funny how our minds work!
