Don’t Leave Home Without It…

December 22, 2009 in Uncategorized with 8 Comments

Are there certain things in your life that you absolutely can’t live without?

I don’t mean philosophical, feel-good things like, “Love” or “Happiness” or “Family” or “Jesus” (ok, well…I do mean those, but let’s put those, more important things, to the side for a moment).  Don’t get all “spiritual” on me.  (j/k)

What are those “things” that you can’t leave the house without?  Better yet…those “things” that, if you leave the house without them, you’ll drive back to get them?

turn around

Here’s what I don’t leave home without:

1. Cell phone

2. Moleskine notebook – ideas come to me randomly.  I like to have my notebook ready whenever the juices flow.

3. Keys to everything I own – There’s no way on Tuesday that I’ll need to use that key that opens the lock for the cabinet door that I only use once every 4th Sunday at our church building.  But nonetheless, I must have it with me at all times.

4. Whatever book I’m currently reading – right now, it’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller.  You never know when you might be stuck and have time to read.

What “things” will you not leave home without?

    I have to laugh, Ben.

    Your list is EXACTLY my list (with the exception of Miller's book – I read that awhile back – the book I have is Batterson's "Primal").

    Were we separated at birth?

    I always go back in the house for something – keys, sunglasses, kindle, etc. I would go back if I left my wife (or kids) at home.

    I thought that was assumed, so that's why I didn't include it in my list, Todd. Good call. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

    Keys, cell phone, wallet (which I am pleased to have pared down to a Fossil money clip that also holds my I.D. and credit cards). I also like to have my iPod Touch, laptop and/or Barnes & Noble nook; but I consider those optional.
