List Day is Here!

Official Make-The-List Day is today.  I did a sloppy copy (2 actually) of the list yesterday.

I started to write the list and promptly forgot all but 4 things that I wanted to put on the list. (Hindsight shows I should have kept a running list as I thought of things lol.)  Took some time, but I eventually got my groove back and started "listing."

The list is right around 50 (including the multiple-times stuff).  I want to type it up today.

Some things are BIG.  Some things are not.  Some are HARD.  Some are not.  Some will take a long time.  Some will not.  All will make me HAPPY (either in the doing, completing or both).  But I'm excited about them all.

Important rule - If it's not making me happy, then I'm ditching it.  I know I can distinguish between being lazy and really not enjoying the process or outcome.

For example ... I have a lofty goal of reading War and Peace.  Often listed as one of the greatest novels of all time.  A mere 1440+ pages.  I'll give it a proper effort, but if I find it horrible ... well, it's a read for another day.  I ordered a three hardback book set so it will double as a book-oration after.  I love displaying books.  Double HAPPY!

And the piece de la resistance ... I'm going to document My Happiness Project.  Pictures, quotes, insights into a book.  Either Shutterfly or LuLu.com.  I think I should be "writing" the book as it happens.  If I wait until the end, I'll forget or get too busy with a new job, etc.

How did I ever find time to work lol!!

The only problem is I want to start EVERYTHING now lol.  I love a list.  I love marking-off a list.  Patience my friend.  This is not a sprint.

Oh my lordy - my happy level is bursting just imagining the list.  And I should include the list in my book.  Okay - now I need a book-list so I remember all my ideas.  (Just started it lol!)

Breathe, enjoy, savor - Oh HAPPY day!
