March: The To Do List

Can you tell that I sometimes get lost in the wheel of possibility as I consider the infinite paths possible? Yet what centers is me is to reach back from the sphere of infinite to the list of priorities--the focus areas within arms reach.

Ultimately my goal is forward positive potential, the kind of potential that affords people the opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

So with that in mind, here is my short list:
