I know it may sound silly however what really inspires and motivates me are "To Do List". As early as I can remember I was writing down list,checking them off one by one. It started in grade school by helping my Mother with the weekly grocery list. I learned how to spell at an early age. I can remember Mr. Dushon my elementary teacher saying ,"You're in 4th grade reading at 8th grade level!" I was so proud of myself. Through the years my "To Do List" kept me focus and helped with the pros and cons of my life. From reasoning a bad relationship, my future goals to having my own grocery list as an adult. My "To Do List" was with me through all the facets of my ups and downs. Especially the times when errands need mapping out, over due bills are towering and my time management skills are lacking, I know it's time to find the ol' post it notes. I find creating my list relaxes me. I guess its better than hitting the bottle or eating that second Hershey bar. A typical list :
1. Don't eat after seven
2. Pay cable bill
3. Stock up on Hershey bars
4. Go to bed earlier
5. Count to 10 and don't forget to breathe
6. Stop rolling eyes and shaking head at Husband
7. Check Daughters facebook page
8. Stock up on any chocolate
9. Check thermostat or am I having a hot flash.
10. Throw skinny jeans away.
See I feel better all ready!
How would your list read?

I use a list when we go away, or I'm tossing and turning at night because I'm worried I'm going to forget important things. But I wish lists inspired me on a day-to-day basis. Maybe I need to write more of them.
