My Pet Peeve for the Letter B
B is for Boredom
When people are constantly complaining that they are bored
and yet they do nothing to make excitement in their lives is yet another Pet
Peeve of mine. I know a few people that just sit around and complain about life
and how bored they are. The young kids today are a good example. If they have
completed the last level on their hand held game console or if there is nothing
good on TV, they hum and haw for hours about having nothing to do.
When I was a kid there were no electronic games or internet.
We had a TV antenna that only gave us maybe 25 TV stations and that was on a
good day. We played outside and went knocking on our friend’s door and then
spent the entire day outside entertaining ourselves. It’s not just children
that seem to find themselves being bored. I know of a few adults who constantly
complain about having nothing to do and I am not sure why. If I have a quiet
day to myself that is the best I can ask for.
Life is what you make it…If one refuses to use one’s
imagination..it will be boring.

Love it! It's so true. When I was little, my mom would kick me out of the house and I wasn't allowed to come back inside unless I was bleeding or dying.... or for a bathroom break.
Great post! Found you via A-Z :-)

I chuckled when I read your theme. Pet peeves. I read A and C too, but since B is also a pet peeve of mine I decided to comment here.
When I was growing up we played outside all the time. When we were inside it was to read a book or do chores. You know what? I still love playing outside (bike rides, fishing, and playing with my dog) and reading. Ironically, I get bored playing the kind of games kids are so fond of these days.
Great theme, I'll be back to see what else you share.
I also love your theme!
I agree completely - though sometimes I am also in need of reminding - I have the power to not be bored. This is a good read and a good reminder!
