I’m feeling like I got something important accomplished.

My purse is a bottomless pit. I admit it here, but not often, and not without defensiveness. When we’re out, I’M supposed to have everything we need for errands, for identity, money, notes, paper, kleenex, etc. Soooooo…..

That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.

BUT – My friend, Kay, lost her wallet last week and has been going through a really bad time trying to figure out what she lost and replace things. I decided that I couldn’t – if my life depended on it – list what was in my purse OR my wallet – and decided I would take time to take everything out of both, go through everything, throw stuff away, reorganize what was left, and create a list with specifics that I have printed and will keep in my office.

I just now finished. I guess it took me a good hour to do it, but I feel more confident that I’m not carrying a bunch of stuff I don’t need to, and that I have things more organized. This will also make sure that I don’t ever NEED the list. It’s like locking your keys in your car. You do it once, and it’s such a pain you learn to never do it again. :0)

It reminded me that my husband has a birthday coming up. I checked his driver’s license to be sure he isn’t up for renewal. Then I checked mine – and I WILL have to renew in March. I’ve now put this on my desk and computer calendars….

So, I did something I’ve been putting off for a LONG time and am patting myself on the head a bit that I did something good today.
