What is it about lists? Is it the desire to organize, or are they just an excuse to put off awkward decisions?

My list is in my head rather than written down, but it is still a useful aide memoir. Here are some ideas from my list.

Over the years, they have pushed me to visit new places and explore new hobbies. On occasion, I have even managed to rekindle an ailing friendship.
