Writing 101 – Day 2 – Write A List

I love reading lists – bucket lists, goal lists, project lists, reading lists, summer lists, winter lists – reading other people’s lists is so much fun! I don’t particularly like to-do lists though, that just means chores, errands and other mundane stuff. On the other hand, crossing them off is a such a huge highlight! Now, I admit I’m not a naturally organized person who makes to-do lists everyday or any other kind of lists on a fairly regular basis however, it is a skill I ardently admire and something which I am trying to develop more and more this year.

I’ve already started compiling a list of things I’ve learned but that is something I’ve scheduled to post for a later date. Meanwhile here are a few lists I’ve made over the past few years and months:

1. 27 Things To Do Before 28
2. Day Zero Project List
3. 2015 Reading Challenge List
4. My TBR Pile List

Today’s Day 2 topic for the course Writing 101 is about writing a list from any one of the three topics given below:

• Things I Like
• Things I’ve Learned
• Things I Wish

I wanted to take it a step further and make it a list of Things I Love :

1. Long drives at night
2. Midnight Snacks
3. Christmas songs playing in stores/restaurants
4. A cup of tea on a cold, rainy day
5. Celebrating Indian festivals with friends and family
6. Family get-togethers!
7. Visiting a natural surrounding and just sitting there and enjoying the peace.
8. The stillness of the night.
9. The sacred feeling of endless possibilities early in the morning.
10. Dancing like a mad cow when no one is watching.
