The over-achiever in me is always a bit restless - seeking new ideas and experiences. And when things get a bit mundane, I start twitching. That said, I am having to re-examine my idea of boring. The word "boring" in most settings has a bad connotation, as though chaos and excitement were superior to the mundane.
However, after watching my friends and acquaintances experience death, divorce and sorrow over the last year, all I can say is, "Thank you, Lord, for boring." Our family is healthy and happy; we have a beautiful group of friends and loved ones; we have jobs-- it may not be the most exciting, but at this stage in our life, excitement isn't always best.
