This is a great idea! And what great goals you have! I love how do-able they seem. You have a good mix of big ones and smaller ones. I wish you much success with achieving all of them! Happy New Year!
Wow. This is really inspirational. I am like *this* close to being inspired to make my own list. Except then I would have to *do* them and I’m not sure I’m motivated.
If you want to meet me sometime, I can give you my houseplants (the previous owners left them and I have a black thumb and am guaranteed to kill them). OH! And you could come HERE and stay in a hotel (alone) and go skiing that same weekend. 4 things! check, check, check, check!
Fabulous idea! I love it, and I am inspired !! I am gonna do this as well and share this idea with a friend. Look your year is already getting off to a wonderful start.
Thanks everybody for the warm reception. I think I might actually accomplish some of these!! I can’t wait to see y’alls lists. And yes I will be checking to see when they are posted, no matter how short or long
Hey, I’m down for #29 and #94and back to #39.
Impressive list! I totally agree with Black Muse and like the fact that you mix in the big and small goals. I might just have to take on this challenge
