The Growing To-Do List

We have already started getting ready to move to the village and the ever-expanding to-do list is a boon and a burden at the same time. We start each day with laying out the tasks to accomplish that day. But if you were to look at this list before we fell asleep that night and compared it with the activities of the day, you would see much overlap, but not entirely. Because as we launch into the list of things to do, invariably one thing leads to another and we naturally have to follow a rabbit trail before we can mark off a seemingly straight-forward singular item from the list. But isn’t that the way it usually goes? Nothing is as simple as it seems and rarely are you able to tie off a task as quickly as you think it should be. But with each item crossed off, we are moving (in a measurable way) closer to the village and the task of learning our next language.

So here is a testament to the normalcy of life in an otherwise drastically different context we now live in.
