Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with my floating list of things to do. But this morning, I wrote down all things I would like to accomplish for November, but some of them I must do.
While the floating list was existing inside my cranium, I felt somewhat anxious, because on top of the regular stuff, the holidays are approaching at the speed of a bullet. This is so suffocating. So many things to do, and just thinking about going through security check at the airport makes a southern belle like me get all discombobulated. I don’t need much happening in my life to feel that way.
I sat and wrote down all my duties for November, 2011. For some unexplainable reason, I feel more in control. I can add, I can cross out, edit, etc., etc.
Now all my little neurons can relax and enjoy the journey for this month. In that way, I can save some space for the unexpected and surprising. There’s a lot of that stuff floating around my fan. I already posted to that.
I feel like the cowgirl ridding the burro and having somewhat control over the beast. Productivity at 7:26 a.m. is unbearable, 100% right now. Maybe I’ll peak at 8: a.m.
So…it was today…the first day of the eleventh month of the year 2011. 1/1/11. How nice!

I’ve always been a compulsive (daily) list-maker. For carbon footprint-reduction purposes, I now make my lists on the backs of the flyers and pieces of junk mail I regularly receive.
I do that also and a lot of my friends. We’re onto something here. 🙂 I have already crossed four items from the list for November. Yeahhhh!
I have been meaning to make a list.
Well…I am waiting.
