Life's funny moments

Today, I had one of those funny moments when you just go, "Huh?!" A friend of mine was moving a year, or so, ago and asked me to drop by to see if I wanted any of her books. I did get a couple, one was on organizing. I remembered a couple of days ago I had the book, but didn't know where it was. This morning I decided to go through a stack of magazines to keep what I wanted and toss the rest. I found the book.

I wasn't going to start reading it immediately, but somehow I was drawn to it. "A moth to a flame," comes to mind. Anyway, I read the first two chapters then closed the book. But I kept thinking about what it had said, to take the book slowly and really "do" the written exercises. I set my mind to it. I remembered I had placed about a dozen spirals in my desk drawer, a month ago, that had been partially used. I thought I would look for one that looked rather full. I looked in the drawer. Decided on a spiral and pulled it out. I flipped through it to see if there was any blank paper. But something caught my attention. I turned to the first page in the spiral and there it was. Oh, my word!!! You have to be kidding! I laughed. The spiral I randomly chose from inside my desk drawer was the spiral I had used a little over a year ago when I first got the book. And the problems were the same then, that they are now!

I didn't even remember doing the list.
