To Do



I love making "To Do" lists.  Something about things all lined up is lovely to me.  If there is a little dot or asterisk before each item, even better.  I know, I'm wierd.  But the best part of having a to do list is crossing things off.  I get such a great feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment.  Sometimes I cheat and write things down that I already finished just so I can cross them off.   :)

The thing about "To Do" lists though is they can come back to bite you.  Sometimes I can get so caught up in my to do's that I forget what is really important to me.  My to do's can also weigh me down and feel very heavy if I let my list get too big.  I like being busy.  I like having a lot to do.  I never get bored because there is always something on my list.  But I don't want to be so busy, that I don't take time to enjoy simple pleasures like morning coffee with my man, or a good conversation with one of my kids.  Sure things need to get done, it's part of life.  Just not the most important part.
