A Full Stack of Stickies

I am not one to normally get into big time goal setting and hoop la of this sort.  However I do feel that there are certain times when goals can be indispensable.  Most of the time though I find goals that are more intriguing.  Things that have a way of tying the past in with the future.  One of my favorite things to do is look back on old pictures and remember what life was like at that time.  It is incredible how fast your life changes from one day to the next and even exponentially more one year from the next.  So this week I was working away like a responsible college student and started to get bogged down in the brain.  Now I know I am bogged down when I start to forget my to do lists and have to write them out.  So I reached for a pad of sticky notes and used one.  I proceeded to use another couple in the day and have a convenient spot to put them all above my desk.  Well I got to thinking about this pad of sticky notes.  I have had it for over a year now (I believe it was a stocking stuffer last year) and I am about a quarter or a third of the way through it.  So I have set the goal.  This semester I am gonna burn through sticky notes, until I have used this whole stack.  And when I get to that last sticky, I will stop and think back to now when I made this goal and last Christmas and fill my life with a little bit of nostalgia as this simple pad will tie the current present with the past and the future.
