Last night I read Everyday Matters by Danny Gregory. It was a fast read because it is basically a sketchbook strung together with a story of a guy dealing with what life has dealt him. His wife has been in an accident and is in a wheelchair (presumably for life). He is angry and sometimes feeling a little sorry for himself. The book is about how journaling and drawing got him through the tough days. It isn't a depressing book, he doesn't delve on the bad in his life, actually he gets interested in life all over again (though he admits he still has bad days).I laughed out loud when he talked about being bored... I hear that from so any students and here is someone in New York City a place where there is more to do than you ever could do (which is my impression of everywhere... there is more world out there than we will ever know) and he is bored. Ha. He works through it by getting interested again... he gets interested by drawing his world. That works for me. Whenever I start to get a nudge of boredom I try to create something and I'm not bored again... I draw, make quilts, read (create a world in my mind), or write. So don't be bored and read this book. It might give you an idea of how lucky you are.
BTW this book is nonfiction.
