"Had I not had that insanely boring job, I might not be writing here." I love this line! Thank you for sharing this, as this counterintuitive result worked 💪

I found myself yearning for the childhood schoolbus rides home this month. I didn’t care for school as a child, but tolerated the ride where I would lean my head against the window and daydream until my bus stop. I’d then wander off the bus in a half dream state and let the stories unwind or reverberate as I walked or ran home the last 1/2 mile.

To go back to that wondrous state of imagination and mind wandering that I found myself yearning for, I recently stopped filling my long commutes to work with audiobooks. It was “boring” at first, but my creative energy in my spare time has picked up a notch and I find myself with lots of ideas…. Now, how to find a talk to text that actually works… or, just let it go and simply enjoy the journey.
