I...I'm finding out new things about you, Cathy. I didn't know you made lists. I sure like some of your creative list ideas. I think they encourage mindfulness - being fully presen and aware. You're right - that's a very helpful trait in photography.

It sounds like gratitude fills your pages and this way of "being present," of observing with all your senses, well, it's just wonderful. I am happy to come home and see this post.

I wasn't able to wean myself from the planner I used for years and still use it to write in appointments and jot down an occasional task or two. I love the idea of lists as a way of journaling because I am not good at journaling! (And spell check doesn't like the word "journaling". Go figure.)Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-42525979015336328602016-09-22T10:15:03.486-07:002016-09-22T10:15:03.486-07:00Gosh!

I like what you said," "Lists get right to the point and they're easy to write." that's the kind of writing I should be doing. So far all I have is a To Do List on my phone and funny story, the other day when I checked it I read, 'External hd with swim suits'. I thought what in the world is that supposed to mean and I couldn't figure out if Aut-correct had scrambled it or what. Much later I remembered it was a note to self of where I'd hidden my EHD before we went on vacation. LOL Sad part was, I had already retrieved it.

But I love how you have actually followed through on doing yours. I must be better at following through.Sarah Huizengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326211901751159368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-68618695935844100662016-09-22T08:14:37.178-07:002016-09-22T08:14:37.178-07:00I inherited list-making from my mom who always had...I inherited list-making from my mom who always had numerous lists going at any one time. And I agree with Sherry that lists are a great way to journal. It's not always just about the photos, it's about the story as well and making lists, as you said, is a great way to remember that story. Love your photos, especially that sweet leaf caught in the barbed wire, and how it is signalling the first day of fall! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-8988906512819798412016-09-22T05:20:03.990-07:002016-09-22T05:20:03.990-07:00Cathy, I am an inveterate list maker too, although...Cathy, I am an inveterate list maker too, although not nearly to the extent you are! And I remember reading about lists as a way to journal and it appealed to me as a short cut for busy days... So thank you for exploring the idea here. Love the word list idea too. Not that I'm playing with poetry I am noticing great words a lot more. By the way I love your images here -- that second one especially!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-15489706749315179072016-09-22T03:46:52.191-07:002016-09-22T03:46:52.191-07:00This is such a great post full of great ideas!

I have always loved lists too, but I never gave them this much thought. You can bet your sweet bippy that there will be a lost in my journal today!
