Unexpected sense of achievement

When I thought about writing The List, I had pangs of dread and misery. Writing down all the projects I've promised and not completed was certain to make me blue. However, as I recorded all those unkept promises, I found I was also thinking of all the projects I have completed. I'm not sure if it's a one-to-one ratio but for every item on The List I believe I can name another project conceived, undertaken and completed. While I have a great deal left to do, there is much that I have done. As well as feeling as if I've achieved something, this knowledge gives me hope that I can complete all the items on The List. After all, if I did it before, I can do it again.
