This is an ongoing list which my friend and I discussed several years ago when we were both in unfortunate situations that put a damper on our lives. I won't go into details about your situations but we decided to make a list of things that make us happy as a way to get us out of our rut. She made her list, is better because of it and two years later, I still didn't have mine when she requested it today.
"where's your list?" She asked. "this was you homework for the weekend and you didn't do it?" I gave her a blank stare, said I had to get back to work, and rushed back to my office.
My friend even bought me a "Ten things that make me happy" business sized card which you can laminate and carry in your wallet. I still have that sad, little card on my bureau at home, gathering dust. For some reason which I haven't figured out yet, it's more difficult to write up the list than I imagined.
Today, after being scolded for the thousandth time, I thought up 7 out of 10 items in the last ten minutes. Huge progress for me. But now, I have "additional homework" and I'm supposed to be specific about each item on the list. bah. I'm only doing this because it's good for my soul and as my friend stated, "if someone asks what you like to do. you can sincerely answer the question..."
And what's on my list? That is forthcoming once I think about the specifics..
