List 30: Today's To-do List


I'll create this in retrospect. Isn't that the best way to write to-do lists? Everything's already done!

  1. Tidy for family coming over
  2. Bake cookies
  3. Make tea
  4. Walk around the yard
  5. Dance to Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong while holding the baby
  6. Chat with bonus mom on the phone
  7. Kiss husband
  8. Feed the cat and the fish
  9. Listen to Middlemarch (13 chapters in; my, it's a doozy!)
  10. Generally, be thankful in spite of tiredness
I've sure enjoyed writing these lists! It surprised me that list writing could spark further reflection, too.

List 28: Vacations to Take


  1. Ireland
  2. Prince Edward Island

Short list! However, number one is a life long dream. So it probably counts for ten. Only two more lists to go!
