This came to me in an email this morning. It got me thinking. I have often told Chris that I never get bored. But that actually isn't true. The times that I am bored are mostly when I'm watching a movie. I'm a very harsh movie critic and I don't seem to enjoy movies that other people like. At the theatre, which I don't like to go to, I get up and wash my hands a ton of times just to get up and give my ears and eyes a break! Anyway, long intro to a thought producing quote!
The happiest people seem to be those who are producing something; the bored people are those who are consuming much and producing nothing.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)
Cleric and writer

I don't often like movies in theaters either. Well, they have to be VERY specific movies and I have to be by myself when watching them.
This post reminds me of a favorite quote of my own:
"True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Very true!
Thanks for sharing this quote.
