You're right too about cultivating calmness. In fact, I meant to meditate or do yoga this weekend. Dang! Something else I forgot! ;-)Jan Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882825000995177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291143103033467520.post-52635347283513300902013-12-02T14:57:04.079-04:002013-12-02T14:57:04.079-04:00Excellent suggestions, Janet.

I'll try them. <br /><br />Yes, we were around but the car was in and out of the driveway a fair bit. <br /><br />We'll maybe see you Saturday? That's great. You're welcome to come by Sunday too if that works better with your schedule.

My only consolation is that these might have been internalized in the same way that "breathing" doesn't show up on the list. Maybe another good list addition is "cultivate calmness about list items not yet completed."Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291143103033467520.post-32478477418296038582013-12-02T14:07:18.570-04:002013-12-02T14:07:18.570-04:00Yay, I made the list. Boo, I didn't get crosse...Yay, I made the list. Boo, I didn't get crossed off!! Holy list-making, Batman - that's insane! I've read two ideas that I really like for list making - one is the 1-3-5 Rule of List Making (only 9 things get put on a day's list, 1 big thing, 3 medium things and 5 little things - this works well if you're going to Eat the Frog First, which is to get the big thing - the most yuckiest thing - off your list first) - then there's the 5 Item rule (5 items go on and only when one gets checked off, does another get added). <br /><br />Didn't know if you were around this past weekend - drove past, but there was no car. Hoping to see you on Saturday :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
