Hmm...I hope it's fun for you, too. Anyway.
I am always making to-do lists. Errands to run, places to go, things to look up next time the laptop is powered on, items to clean... Things that, in all reality, MUST get done. It's part of running a house and having kids and really, just living.
But what about those things I want to do? Where is the list for that?
Things I WANT to do:
1. Make some cards. I got all the paper cut and prepped yesterday for some freehand simple card making. Now to put them together and actually make (and mail) the cards.
2. Go for a walk. It is a really nice day out today and I will kick myself later this summer if I have not fully enjoyed the spring.
3. Have a bowl of peanut M&Ms.
4. Write. I have a story idea that has been kicking in my head for years now, and I have a friend who is helping me stay accountable and get some writing goals set for this next year. Getting started is the hard part.
5. Get the photos off the camera and see if Mama bird and her babies look as awesome as I think they do. I love My G's camera.
6. Go for a drive. No particular destination, just drive for a while and enjoy the gorgeous day.
7. Send a random note to someone who could use it.
8. Learn to bake bread. I have a good recipe and good instructions...I just haven't tried it.
9. Go roller-skating. Even if Little G doesn't go with me this weekend, I may go anyway. I'm not particularly good but I love to skate.
10. Go see a movie. I try to go when the theater isn't going to be packed, but I LOVE the whole theater experience. There's nothing like it at home, even when the couch is comfy and the sound is good.
So what is your list? What do you WANT to do? And what, really, is stopping you from doing at least one item on your list? Even if it's something that takes help (like redoing a bathroom), baby steps towards that goal can give you the feeling that you are moving forward and taking care of yourself.
