What do you do for boredom?

Sometimes when senior citizens are alone they get bored.  I have books to read.  I have computer games. The trouble is I can’t sit still long enough.  When this happens I try to talk myself out of it.  I count my blessings and try to lie still in my bed and watch TV.  On nice days I go for a walk.  If you get bored to the point where it leads to depression, get professional help.  With my Medicare HMO, I can see a psycologist with no co-pay!  I’m going today! That was a good session!  More advise:  Plan something.  Plan a vacation, a party or just make plans for  the next holiday.  Contact a friend or family member and have lunch.  If you’re bored remember, only you can get rid of your boredom.
