A List is a List

No matter what you call it – a list is a list! I spoke with several people who said they never use a list, however after further discussion it was revealed they too were Listers! A list by any other name is still a list!

Top of the List - New England Patriots!

Oh No !! I lost my List!!

One typical Saturday morning, I got ready and headed off to the grocery store. Once I was there, I reached into my pocket for my list…it wasn’t there. Calmly I checked my other pockets…no list. I was starting to get a bit nervous and began to rummage through my purse…no list! I ran back to the car…it wasn’t there!

I always keep my list in my pocket and dreaded the thought of shopping without my list! Panic started to invade my otherwise reasonable mind as I struggled to remember all the items on the list. Bravely I entered the store and tentatively the shopping began.

I pushed my cart slowly up each aisle hoping needed items would jump out at me as I walked by. At checkout I reviewed the items one by one, I was feeling pretty good - could it be I remembered everything?

As soon as I got home I saw it. Lying on the counter. …right where I had left it. Frantically I checked the forgotten list. Did I do it?

Milk X
Bread X
Chips X
Birdseed NO

For some reason, I never remember everything! I guess it’s true, there are people who make lists and use them, and there are people who make lists and lose them.
