One Man's List

Perpetually behind. Always trying to get caught up. That is a terrible place to live. I know these people. And some days I am these people. I hate when that happens.
To live in a constant state of defeat. Failure.
Cheerful blog today, no?

I love those days that are so easy to live with as I lay my head down at night. I mentally look back at the list with which I began my day and mentally check off the accomplishments.
Feels good.

• Swept the kitchen.


• Laundry.


• Breakfast.


• Dishes.


• Posted on one of the blogs.


• Shower


• Made the bed. (Clearly these are not in order of importance.)


• Got my headlight replaced.


• Sewed a stray button.


• Paid a couple bills.


• Made some business phone calls that I've been putting off.

And this doesn't include the commute, work, writing the novel and all.

When I lay down tonight, this list of checked off items will feel good. I'm just going to need to be careful not to think about the list of things I had hoped to get to but didn't.

I am grateful for a good, juicy list.
