Preparing for London has led to the creation of dozens of lists: packing lists, traveling lists, London lists, email lists, and lists to prioritize the lists. With the changes that life abroad will bring, I have decided to create a new type of list. This list will not be one defined by the size of my paper or the number of pen colors. For my London list, the joy will be found in the actual experiences and not in the scratching off of tasks. This list is a compilation of blessings and opportunities to explore a new world. It is a list that will not dictate but guide. So, here is to a new type of list.
