Lists
Today I realized that I can’t live without a few things. Maybe just two things.
And I don’t mean things I love (this guy) or anything under the Obvious column (food, water, shelter). The following two items are things without which I just don’t function well.
1. Sunlight. (That big cheery star has been elusive these past few days, and my mood has gone in and out with it — depressed… happy… angy… cheerful… doomed… hopeful. Unfortunately, the sun set in privacy behind its cloud curtain this evening. Which you know is the worst way to end the day — darkness isn’t so bad, but grey to black is pretty disheartening. So for now, I’m doing what I can with Vitamin D.)
2. Lists. (My life just doesn’t go anywhere if I don’t make them — I would seriously sit here and read the internet all day long if I didn’t have a list directing me from bed to workout to shower to EAT [not kidding] to work item #1, #2, #3 and on and on. Even things I want to do have to make it to the list, which still seems a little nutty to me, that I could be so paralyzed without notes — but I’m trying to embrace it.)
Anyway, I think it would be awfully nice of you to ask yourself what you need. Even nicer to see about giving it.
