Remember when being bored had such a bad rap? Now with the over stimulation of a zillion bits of information coming our way at any given moment I'm starting a movement to elevate the beauty of down time.

OK, not true utter boredom, but space. A moment to think. A time for the brain to unwind and recapture the essence of living.

It's easy for me to say this today because I'm on vacation. Ahh.
But if you happen upon this during yor workaday whirl, let me say take a moment. Turn it all off (well, except for me) and have a psychic respite. No good ideas, few bits of creativity will spill out of you when you're bombarded by all the stuff life throws your way.

Send us all some ideas on what recharges your battery. Give me a cup of tea and a gentle breeze. And if it's snowing and miserable out, give me a cup of tea and an afghan. Can you feel it?
