My list, long or short
always includes writing.
Writing is big on my list,
given pride of place in the #1 spot,
followed obediently by
my daily exercises.
take the garbage out, the recycling down,
laundry day, make pancake batter,
order groceries, put away groceries,
set bread, bake bread,
clean the bathroom, etcetera.
Appointments or outings with family or friends
Life is full of so much more.
Spaces between all the things
we do in a day are filled with
the aroma of fresh bread,
soup bubbling on the stove,
the laughter of family and friends,
the sounds of life being lived.
A little list sets guideposts,
touch stones for our homes.
“Lists are how I parse and manage the world.”
~ Adam Savage, entertainer
