Summary: Twenty Things I Like about Enumeration: My Book of Lists
Review: 1) I can tell tell the world "why I am a Superior Being" (for two pages!). 2) I can also "vent" for two pages... and then "move on." 3) I can draw thought balloons for the tie-wearing cat or Yorick's skull. 4) I can celebrate "great days" or whine about things that went wrong. 5) I can grow by doing what I've always been afraid to try. 6) I can count my blessings and set goals to bless others: perform acts of kindness (random and otherwise), send thank-you notes, choose gifts, extend dinner invitations... 7) I can experience new things, like listening to European pop music or tasting Ethiopian cuisine--and maybe find something to add to "my favorite foods." 8) I can be spiritual by recording favorite scriptures. 9) I can make memories with my family "now" or "while I still can." 10) I can brainstorm improvements to my home... and work... and health... and environment. 11) I can log my debts (monetary and otherwise). 12) I can name the pet dragon or the one-horned dinner guest or the hunchback's flying contraption. 13) I can invent my own lists. 14) I can sift the trivial from what really matters. 15) I can doodle for posterity (but mostly for myself) and search for the right word and be surprised by a forgotten memory. 16) I can discover what I want to change about myself... 17) ... and what I want to keep just the way it is--at least for now. 18) I can find out my favorite quotations include things my grandmother used to say. 19) I can fill up one journal and start another. 20) I can recall all these things next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, because I've written them down.
