“If so, it is time I learned to enjoy the thousands of little things that occur in my daily life: a sunrise; the sound of birds; a long walk, noting all the interesting things I see; a piece of music; a good book; a charming response from a child; a moving story at an AA meeting; a small household chore perfectly performed; a beautiful meal, created by me.” (ODAT, 12 January)
If I’m bored, I’m boring: I’m not taking an interest.
Interest has two features: appreciation and understanding.
Both are limitless in opportunity.
