Bored - So I Went to My Contact List, Phone Book
Sometimes you can learn a lot simply by picking up the phone and talking to someone you haven't spoken to in awhile. The start of a new year is a good excuse to catch up. A simple "Happy New Year" breaks the ice and before you know it, you are discovering things about family, business, community, spirituality, and more.
I thought about those past moments I could have called some people a long time ago, but hesitated for any number of reasons. I personally think the best time to talk to anyone is when you aren't pressed about tackling a task list or worried about others. You don't feel overwhelmed, stressed and have people and things in the background distracting you and making noises through the phone. Therefore, you can really enjoy your conversation with family, friends, co-workers, business and prayer partners.
Recently, I found that my perception of one person I hadn't talked to in awhile was much different than what I had originally thought. I guess with the busyness of life I never really paid that close attention to him.
I learned that a relative had took a big step in his life that was so great, I joked, "Jesus must be coming!" That phone call turned into a spiritually encouraging conversation.
I utilized my "I'm bored" time, and ended up being a help to a relative that had been struggling with a technological issue after calling her. She too was bored, but was relieved to have her problem resolved.
Another phone call, brought relief to my poor soul that thought there was something wrong with a family member, but now feels better. I would have still worried had I not picked up the phone.
So when one is bored and feeling good, a brief conversation with loved ones and acquaintances--while staying positive--will do you well and might bring a blessing to you.

How to Organize Any Room Quickly for Guests You Want to Impress if there is an upcoming event in your household or someone else's, it would make sense to take the time to make a good impression. The last thing any host wants to hear all night is, "Wow, your place is a wreck! It smells in here! Do you ever clean? Where are the glasses? Do you even live here?"
