Mile Long Fall To Do List - October Update

Back in September, I posted what I called my "Mile Long Fall To Do List".  As I stated then, it was not a Joy List, but rather, a list of all the things I wanted to get done/felt I should get done, etc.  I thought I should take a look to see what was accomplished since I published the post, before going on to November.  So, here is my end-of-October update:

Mile Long Fall To Do List:
  • Renew my driver's license - before November 11 - make appointment/fill out application online -  DONE (10/25)

    1. Thank you, Nil. I am quite pleased with what I was able to accomplish, even if I didn't get somethings done before the prayer gathering. :)

  2. I know you are not calling it a joy list, but there is some serious joy just getting things accomplished. Yay you!

  4. You did great, Bless. I didn't even publish my to-do list this past month, but I will admit to you that I did NOT get as much accomplished from the list as you did. Some of that was because the weather turned. But I am sure it will still be waiting for me come Spring. Ha.

    1. Thank you, Susan. I remember feeling overwhelmed when I wrote out that list, which is the main reason why I wrote the list in the first place. All those thoughts of things I need to/should do were driving me crazy! Getting it all written down/typed up helped me. Having a list to work from is always helpful, to me. I'm sure your yard work will wait till spring. Maybe the snow might help kill off a few weed seeds, too?
