lists!!!

lists! did i mention lists? in my love of things made of words?... because i love lists! making them, checking things off, looking back at laughing at the lack of things crossed off....and  color coding, prioritizing, compiling and the like are also great!

to be honest, i have already started a list of lists i can blog. ya.

i started off trying to write a list of words that described me....i didn't really like a lot of the words, not gonna lie. its not that i think i am a horrible person. i just think its easier to point out your flaws than compliment yourself...

so i made a list of things "i am"....  or i at least i think/hope i am. i had intended the list to have a maximum number of things.... then i realized just how self limiting that is. reminded me of this i was sent today:

"stop acting so small. you are the universe in ecstatic motion" Rumi.

the list HAS to be a constant changing/growing list, although i am some things will always remain the same...

• a daughter.
• a sister.
• a friend.
• a lover of words. maybe a writer. 
• a lover. 
• a fighter.
• the "therapist". an over-analyzer. 
• social butterfly. or maybe chatty. 
• a pisces.
• a dreamer. 

after a little more thought, i came up  with a list of words i think, or maybe hope, might be used to describe me....

• funny
• caring
• honest
• sweet (this is kinda a funny one. but it CAN happen...)
• smart (not necessarily book)
• serious 
• passionate
• a thinker
• defensive (oh, this is definitely a think, not a hope.... more a hope to change)
• sarcastic

and now, off to go make more lists. damn mondays.
