I collect my mother's lists, for a few reasons.
1: Her longhand penmanship is beautiful.
2: They are quaint & telling time capsules of her thought processes.
3: I enjoy reading her jumbled lists. On one list she will have grocery items,
books that she wants to read, articles from magazines she wants to share,
& household chores that need to be done..etc.
Sometimes, when I make lists,
I'll go for the, Im Grat. Listing a few endeavors that have already been accomplished, and placing a check mark next to them, provides some sense
of completion & control, if I'm feeling particularly tasked.
I bookmarked that article. I listed it for Mother to read.
