To not be bored with life.

So much has happened to me. In life. That I can't remember it all. I suppose most people have a similar lapse of memory.  Only so much is memorable. The rest forgotten. Almost as if it's never been lived. As if I was merely going through the motions of living. Didn't give it much thought. So very much of life is elusive.  Maybe too routine. Too boring. To take note. But every day. I take time out. To remind me. That I am alive and conscious. That makes me aware. That I exist. And it's a great opportunity. To not be bored with life. --Jim Broede
