Summer Anti-Boredom List
By Deborah Shelton
Before summer vacation turns into a boredom fest, sit down
as a family and make a summer anti-boredom list. Write down
a mixture of long overdue chores that you’ve been meaning
to get done, along with goals and dreams that you’ve always
wanted to accomplish. Don’t leave out the fantastic! If
you’ve always wanted to ride on a unicorn, even though
there is no such animal, write it down. You may read the
list one day when you’re bored, see the unicorn wish, and
decide to take horseback riding lessons.
With an anti-boredom list displayed prominently on the
refrigerator, fun is just around the corner. Take a look at
my family’s summer anti-boredom list to get an idea. By the
way, can you tell which entries belong to our five-year-old
son?
