This might seem a bit peculiar to most people. It sure is for me, because, honestly, I am scared to death of boredom. I\u2019ve got to be doing something somewhere in order to feel valued or needed or happy even. When the real question is, \u201dWhy do I need to be seeking busyness to make my life feel worthy or happy?\u201d One of my greatest fears with quitting doing a job for a living was to feel bored or useless. Further revelation has caused me to reconsider the need for either one of those things. This was a huge hole in my soul\u2014and many other people\u2014that needs to be rectified by something other than busyness. One of my all-time favorite quotes is by Susan Ertz who writes: "  Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon."
