Your Life in Lists
The past few days I’ve been enjoying Listography Journal: Your Life in Lists by Lisa Nola. She writes, “…I believe everyone should have an autobiography, if only for their loved ones to read and even in the simplest form: a list.”
A few of the lists she provides space for:
- Favorite toys you played with as a child
- Things you’re glad you did
- Things you’d save if your home was on fire
- Bad things you did as a kid
- The most memorable friends from your past
- Your biggest acts of kindness
I was intrigued by “bad things you did as a kid” because I’ve never thought about myself along those lines. But memory starts the wheels turning and darned if I didn’t come up with a list. (Apologies to Sue M. for the time I convinced her to throw some of her toys down the sewer so we could listen to the splash they made.)
Pick one list from those above. I guarantee you’ll be surprised by what you come up with.
