Important Stuff

Things are important to me, or at least they were, and I have found a need to get by with fewer and fewer actual objects. For instance, I left the house yesterday without my phone. It was both terrifying and liberating. As I am writing this, it is in the other room, with the ringer off. I am okay with that.

There are some things, though, that I believe a person needs to be a functioning member of society...

I could list them out, but that would be unnecessary because we all have these lists, the rules that we have that govern our friendships and relationships, and the things that we try to impart if we are lucky* enough to have children.

I have been thinking about some of my "important things" and wondering if there were callow, and I suppose that some of them are**, but everyone has some callow things on their list.

It is better to have callow things on your list than not to have a list at all, or even worse, not having an agenda to put your list into action.

Do you have things? Do you have a plan for implementing said things?

*Yes, I used lucky. I know some of my readers do not want children for several reasons. I respect that and understand that.

**On my list, if you do not have a grand appreciation for Annie Hall, you are just...wrong in some fundamental way.
