The Daily Checklist as a Mood Enhancer?

I’m feeling rather bleh today.

It’s been that way all day.

Like . . . I noticed fifteen minutes into my thirty minute drive to Bible study this morning that I wasn’t wearing any makeup.

Now, I may have no problem stopping by the store foundation-free and with a touch of bedhair.

But I do not, ever, go to a real it’s-not-okay-to-wear-workout-clothes kind of place without makeup.

The bleh lasted throughout the day.  One way to translate bleh is: aimless.  Yes, I went through the motions of the million commitments I have on Wednesdays, but transition times were . . . aimless.

And bleh.

So, partly to combat the aimless feeling, and partly out of obligation due to my Daily in December commitment, I physically picked up my Daily Checklist and started doing it.

I closed cabinet doors, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned and swept the kitchen, did a five-minute pickup, checked bathrooms for clutter, etc.

That list does a lot of things, and providing aim is one of them.

My hope was that while solving the aimlessness issue, my case of blehs would also be cured.

Not so much.

But at least my house looks better.
