My “to-do” lists are created in all seriousness, with all-serious intentions.
But creating a list is not always the same as fulfilling it.
This was yesterday’s list:
Get gas in the car. O.K., so I forgot. Will get it tomorrow.
Mail that bill. Forgot.
Remember to take a cooler bag with ice packs for perishable purchases. Forgot the cooler.
Stop at the drugstore for allergy meds and eyedrops. Sent Bill (short for “William.”)
Shoe store for comfort sandals. No time.
Haircut. Managed that.
Gym for a mild workout. Too tired.
Stop at the real grocery store for real food. Sent Bill.
Stop at the produce market for fun things that taste good like local peaches and tomatoes. Managed that.
Don’t forget to put all that in the cooler bag. No cooler bag. Drove home fast.
Take pictures along the way. Nope. Taking time would make the peaches go bad.
Visit with people you meet. Of course.
Somehow I did not feel particularly productive on this day.
But after all the groceries (peaches and tomatoes) were put away, I took a little walk.
No list.
Just a walk.
And how about this all-in-one list of fulfilled to-do’s?
- A 30 minute walk added EXERCISE.
- Thirty minutes in sunshine for VITAMIN D3.
- Thirty minutes of fresh air in beautiful rural Virginia!
- STOP-AND-GO PHOTO OPS for next blog post.
- And, I pulled at least 5 weeds and thinned one zinnia bed in the front garden.
