Bored

This is only the 6th day of a new year and I'm already bored...what is wrong with me? Can I ever be happy? Will I find a real purpose this year? Life is fleeting and I feel a serious sense of urgency. The older I get, the more desperate I become with my life. What is the answer?

I have talent and love to travel and be with people -- can't I find something to fulfill this need? Where to turn next? I feel like I have depleted my resources and energy. Who can help?

When I am bored, I usually try to find a new creative outlet, but even find this is getting boring. What is wrong with me? What to do, what to do?

If anyone reads this, they will think I am just a spoiled, selfish, rich, bored housewife, but I can tell you that I am not. I worked in an office for 30 years, then took a job where I traveled all over the USA for ten years, then volunteered my time with a couple non-profit organizations, found a part-time job and continued with a lot of art work, sometimes taking classes to learn new things to try. I'm just one of those people who get bored easily and it drives my husband crazy. He is content to sit around the house (he's been retired for 20 years) and do a lot of nothing. That makes me even crazier! I want to go places, do things, and meet new people. Although we have been married a very long time, I still would like him to find some similar interests with me, but he only plays golf and goes fishing, which I don't. I have been going alone lately and find that while I am doing things and meeting people, even this is not satisfying enough for me.

Can someone help me? Do I need help?
