However infrequently, I pass by these glass globes. Generally, I do so when I am on bicycle. The speed I ride past affords me a nice glimpse of the side-by-side pools on which these glass globes float the water. Be it early morning, or late evening, the sight is glorious.
Growing up, there were always lists upon lists floating around the house. Shopping lists, our lists of chores to be done, etc., etc., etc. My mom always used pencil, instructing us to do the same as we crossed out the items one by one. This allowed for the computer punch card, or piece of paper to be reused day after day.
I hated those lists! Along with homework, they were what stood between me and going out to play.
When I arrived at adulthood, however, there was a return of the lists. Not only in my job (most especially ICU nursing) but also in my personal life. With the framework firmly set I find familiarity, if not comfort, in crossing items off my lists.
Only now there appeared in electronic format: on my palm pilot, Outlook tasks, or myPhone reminders. This was much better! Yeah. Much better.
It comes in handy for tasks such as trip preparation…
