101 in 1001

I was reading my blogger friend (Brittany)'s blog yesterday and was inspired by her 101 in 1001 days post and decided to do one for myself. So, I took her list and made my own, keeping some of her great ideas on there.

I'm hoping this list will keep me motivated to live life fuller and enjoy it more. Plus, it will help me keep on track with important goals in my life.

Some of these items, may never happen, but I'm keeping high hopes that I can MAKE them happen. Some of them also depend on my money situation.

From Brittany's blog: Why 1001 Days? - Many people have created lists in the past - simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic.
1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than just one year.

Wow! I feel inspired already. I can sense a lot of positive changes coming in my future. I'm going to have my kids make a list as well, maybe not one quite this long, but I want them to have goals for themselves and what better way than to do it together. It will be fun marking the lists off together. :) I can't wait. :)
