life in lists

my friend has begun drawing up lists of all sorts: lists of favorite songs, reasons to be happy, favorite memories, basically anything. i liked that idea, because it seems like a way to organize life so that it is not so complicated. however, i realized that i can't get myself to put these lists on paper - they stay anchored in my mind. 

but, as stated heretofore (i just like that word and was searching for an excuse to use it), i have hundreds of mental lists in my thoughts at all times. when i see or think of something, i add it to the proper list and it remains there. 

lists of my favorite memories with each person that i know.

lists of my favorite meals ever eaten.

lists of pictures i want to take, once i learn how to give them justice.

lists of qualities i admire in others.

lists of movies i want to watch with specific people.

lists of thing i like about myself.

lists of things i want to change about myself and the world.

lists of places i like to stand because they are beautiful from all angles.

lists of good deeds that may go forever unfulfilled.

lists of songs that take me back.

lists of blessings that i don't deserve.

lists of adventures i still want to take.

etc.
