Listmania

It’s how I live.  I make lists.  It clears my mind…  when I do it right.  Today I did it right.  I began lists for tomorrow through next Monday.  Not too much on each day.  I have a list of long term (with in the next couple of weeks) things that would really help me out with life here.  I made a list of ongoing things that I want to remember, like to play my flute or sew.  You might be surprised how hard it is to remember normal things when our situation in life is newly in a foreign country.  I made a list of menu options, things I think I might really be able to make with the ingredients I’ve found around here.  I was having such a good time that I made a wish list, things that I dream of taking back to the states with me, such as a porcelain vase, a Persian rug, silk from the fabric market.  I was very relaxed afterward.

When Greg got home and we were discussing our day, I told him about making the lists.  I even confessed to the wish list.  He smiled his wonderful smile at me and said, “Don’t get your lists mixed up.”
