Day 11: Lists

I've always known I like lists. In fact, I actually have an entire journal dedicated to lists... and the fact that there are already several embedded in this blog (a list of places I'd traveled in 2013, weddings, websites) speaks to this.  

In a sense, this blog is also a list. So I guess it's safe to say lists make me happy.  Whether they are the type of lists that encompass memories or to-do lists, I love them all.

A mentor of mine once noted that crossing things off of a list actually releases endorphins - so it makes sense that people enjoy the feeling. She went so far as to say that she would put things on her list that she knew she would accomplish simply to be able to cross it off later.

So I guess I don't care if I look like a nerd when I get excited near the planning section in an office supply store, or jump around when I find some paper that is perfect for writing lists, I will continue to make lists - and since it's January 1, 2014 in my own time I'm going to focus on honing in on my Bucket List. A list that should be tackled - in the pursuit of happiness!
