I can do all things with God and a To Do List!  That list is vital though, and as you can see, sometimes there is a list, upon a list, upon a list.  I add to it as I go along and it stays with me like a life line.  There have been days I don’t have a list which result in me going all over town waywardly.  I forget to pick something up at the store forcing me to double back or I will get to a location and realize I needed to be somewhere else and sometimes I will accomplish just about nothing the entire day. This scrap of paper and trusty pen provides me mental stability, is fuel efficient and saves me hours on time. My Mighty List keeps me moving and focused.

One morning I was parked outside of Target cleaning up my car before I went in.  I had a handful of garbage in one hand and my list in another as I approached the door.  Just as I tossed the garbage into the can outside the store I looked down and noticed I still had the garbage in my hand though my list was gone.  That is an immediate panic situation, no list equates to 1/2 brain function and I am not too proud to admit it.  I took the lid off the garbage can and began clawing my way through, thankfully the can was fairly empty. The day was early so mostly Starbucks cups rimmed with various shades of lipstick from mom’s that had just dropped their kids off at school.  Being I am only 4’11” it is quite a sight to dig down into the garbage outside of a store.  Super classy to be sure but without that list I may as well go home and crawl back in bed!  I retrieved the list, held my head high and went straight inside to wash my hands (that was now first on the list)!

Fun can commence when my list is complete!  It is a primitive method especially with all the gadgets, alarms and helpful reminder apps.  I have tried them all; this remains tried and true day after day.  It’s 1:56pm and I only have a couple items remaining before I am set free for the rest of day, feeling accomplished with an apple crisp (#3 on the list) cooling on the counter – hooray for me.
