The 'Yes' List

We seem to live in a world of lists anymore.  There's the ever popular bucket lists and the to-do lists (included here is the honey-do list).  There are wishlists, checklists, playlists, grocery lists, summer reading lists and Santa's list.  There are lists that rank our favorite things and let's not forget about the S*** list.

I was reading skirt! magazine last night (I seriously love this publication--it's all about women, has great articles and short stories AND it's perfect to cut up after reading when I scrapbook for the lovelies).  Their theme for June's issue is Yes!  And on the front they ask, "What's on your YES! List?"  Good question...


My YES! List:

• YES!  I will walk for an hour every day (this one is kind of a cheat since I already do this--what can i say, I'm starting off easy).
• YES!  I'll stop procrastinating and use my time wisely (please try not to hurt yourselves falling out of your chairs laughing at this one).
• YES!  I'll get those two bedrooms painted THIS SUMMER (No, I really AM going to do this.  Really. I am.).
• YES!  I'll look for the blessings in my everyday routine (I'm sure there are some around here somewhere).
• YES!  I'll stop calling my life boring (and get off my fat behind to do things so that there's no reason to call my life boring).
• YES!  I'll write some fiction everyday even if it's only one paragraph (and even if it's the worst piece of fiction EVER written).
• YES!  I'll try to be more sensitive to the needs of others (I know. Stop laughing.).
• YES!  I'll try to stop calling people stupid even if they are (Nah.  That's just not going to happen.  How about I'll stop calling people stupid in a voice loud enough for them to hear me calling them stupid?).
• YES!  I'll re-cover those dining area chairs before all the foam padding falls out through the worn fabric that covers them now.   (Or else our butts will be sitting in holes).
• YES! I'll answer my phone even if it's a long-winded person I really don't want to talk to calling. (Hahahahahahahaha!).
• YES! I will not cry when Birdie heads off to Texas.  (If you believe that, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you!).
• YES! I will say NO to gray hair. (That stuff looks fine on everyone but me).
• YES! I will get my blender back from Birdie and DoodleBug. (College students aren't the only ones who enjoy a frozen beverage with Tequila or Rum in them).
• YES!  I will stop my mind from wandering when someone else is talking.  (Even I am laughing at that one.)
• YES!  I will clean up my language. (Just as soon as people stop pissing me off making me angry).
• YES!  I will hold my tongue and lengthen my fuse.  (Hahahahahaha!)

Obviously, my YES! List needs work.  But it was fun trying make one!
