Taking Notes

I keep a lot of notes on my phone. They are very handy and very important. I reference them all the time and consider them an extension of my brain. Without my notes, I would be significantly dumber. 

Some of my notes are:

A to do list (boring but necessary) 

A shopping list 

Books I want to read

Ideas for blog posts

Little People sets I want to buy

Blood pressure readings

Ideas for things I want to do with my kids

Things the kids say 

A list of people I buy Christmas gifts for

Ideas for home lunch

Food notes (this is where I jot down restaurant info - like which sushi rolls we like, how spicy to order my meal, etc)

Moments I have felt that God is real

Things to pray about 

Words I like

The kind of person I want to be

I’ve always been one to take notes or “jot it down.” It’s not uncommon for me to be talking with a friend and suddenly say, “Hold on a sec, let me check my notes!” to which my friend might say, “Wait… You have notes about Cafe Rio?” and I reply, “You don’t?”
