I keep a personal journal full of tiny writing and a planner of TO DO lists. The blog only shows a few thoughts each week from our lives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the beginning of January I began a project to keep my daily TO DO lists in a planner. I know that I am not original in doing this. However, I didn’t appreciate the patterns that I would see emerge from my lists or the story that they would tell.<\/p>\n

Here are a few randomly picked dates from the past 9 months and what I listed along with a little commentary.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 5<\/span>
\nPiano lessons 10:45-12:45
\nPiano lesson 2:00 (Timothy)
\n3:00 Paige and Dan
\nPay piano teacher<\/p>\n

Apparently the only thing I did on this day was drive kids to and from piano lessons over a span of 5 hours. Even if this was actually all I did, I think that it would be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, March 23<\/span>
\nSPARKS This was the day we drove from Elko to Sparks to visit my Stewart Grandparents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday, July 4<\/span>
\nPaint trim (2 coats) in Daniel’s room
\nIntegrity goal #5: Stand as a witness day 4
\nFamily barbecue 1pm (Spring Lake)<\/p>\n

Summertime brought a lot of painting and Young Women Personal Progress goals. The Stand as a Witness goal that I mentioned was to write about my experiences as a Mormon on the blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 13<\/span>
\nlibrary
\nlego shopping with little boys
\nwork on Knowledge #9
\ntype out YW calendar
\nvacuum upstairs
\ngarden assignment: 3 needed<\/p>\n

Summer was winding down; I was trying to make the most of the last days with my little boys by shopping for their favorite toys with them. Knowledge #9 was a Young Women Personal Progress goal where I collected and compiled my favorite quotes from General Conference talks by topic. The garden assignment was for the Church garden which supplies the nearby Bishops’ Storehouse. The big boys and Richard took the assignment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday, September 5<\/span>
\nDrive Richard 5:45 am
\nDrive Daniel 6:50 am
\n30 minutes Virtue project
\nPick up Richard at work–sick day
\nYW presidency meeting
\n10% of Richard’s group laid off today (notation on the side of the to do list)
\nCostco trip
\nBring doctor’s note to school for Mark’s absences
\nPiano lessons 5:30-7:30
\ncontinue paint work in craft room<\/p>\n

This was a very stressful day on many levels. There were extra errands because of illness and there was worry about Richard’s job. The Virtue project is my current Personal Progress goal to read the Book of Mormon. Thank goodness most days are not this busy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love my life, but I don’t always see the beauty in the little pieces. Keeping my little planner has been a good exercise to help me see that I’m going somewhere in all of my circles of errands and small efforts.<\/p>\n
