As I sit here contemplating another day. You know, preparing to write a list of things I need to accomplish. I realize, that right beside me, intertwined through out a stack of unopened bills, is a variety of “to do” lists. It is an ever growing pile. Each list is getting longer as I realize more things  need my attention. I have gotten to the point that these lists I create are beginning to overwhelm. Going through the stack of bills, I grab each list and tear each  into tiny little pieces and toss them in the garbage. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!  I AM FREE!

As I think over the last few months, I realize that my impending lists have not only stressed me out each day, but made me tired just thinking about them. Hence, the shoving them into the, “I will get to it pile”. Obviously, they are NOT “me” friendly!

Today is a new day. I hereby decide from this day forward the only list I will make is that of things I have done! As an added pat on the back, bonus, yahoo me!  said list will be created as I finish each task!  At the end of the day, instead of  being left with a list of things “yet” to do, I will have a list of  accomplishments!

No more negativity in the form of a list! Today, I have discovered one more positive solution!

What  change are YOU making today to move away from negativity?

“Yes, long hours and a hard life for my parents, but for a six to seven year old every new day dawned with fresh excitement when you have not a care in the world, and so much to learn and witness.”  – Vernon L. Smith

“Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.”  – Sam Levenson

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” –  Mahatma Gandhi

    1. Actually, you had to publish a post based on the Award on your blog rather than commenting on the post itself. I’ve included a picture along with the post which tells exactly what you have to do.
