a to-do list

in the face of stress and giving in to it, i've neglected doing a lot of things that i actually like to do and that make me happy.  so i want to make a list of those things, even though i know that making lists doesn't actually mean i'll do the things on it.  but i think the first step is going to be recording it, then the second step is holding myself accountable for my own happiness.

-read books (already have some favorites i've been meaning to re-read checked out from the library)
-take photos and put the ones i like on my flickr
-run or climb 5 days of the week
-call or write to my friends and loved ones regularly

i can let myself fall into black holes too easily, and that's not good.  tonight i watched a space documentary with christie and i learned that basically the sun is going to eat up the earth eventually, so really, when you put things in perspective, doing stuff you like is pretty important.
