Mindfulness

Must dos' are the things that we must do without having to be told

I have a 'short list' that makes it easy to remember for a 'forgetful person'

Never-never be forgetful of certain birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries

'Do Lists' were taught to me by a loving elderly businessman and friend 

Failure to place value on and prioritize important things are not an option

'Under the circumstances' does not always qualify for an excuse by some

Let the truth be told, even with some flexibility, forgetfulness can be costly

Neglect is also pricey and in some cases, it may even be a criminal offense

Escaping responsibilities may be the verdict rendered if we are not mindful

Swimwear is a common-sense adjustment when winter and spring have ended

So, likewise, I must learn to make every sensible adjustment for vital matters
