“Mom, I found these in the picture drawer. What are they?”
A tear formed when I saw some of my mother’s hand written lists. “Grandma didn’t feel like she accomplished anything unless she could cross five chores a day off a list.”
“But this just says; wash dishes, do laundry, clean cat box, write notes, get hair cut. Aren’t those normal things?”
“That’s when she got older. Read another one.”
“Finish quilt, write blog, edit flash fiction, write some poetry, get necessary fabric.”
“Was she always so busy?”
“That’s not busy, those were the hobbies she did every day.”

It seems like “normal things” on the first list and yet it echoes the values found in accomplishing chores. The second list might be hobbies, but there’s accomplishment there, too!
