In my experience, a common phrase heard around boarding schools is,"Never a dull moment!" Sometimes , as is the case in parenting, the utterance is born out of frustration or exasperation, but, so much of the time it is rooted in the exhilaration that we feel when we are around energy and creativity, and things are happening! At heart, most of us like being busy because (a) it keeps our minds from drifting endlessly into self-analysis and worrying, and (b) it makes us all appreciate the non-busy parts even more acutely.
