A few years ago this blogger introduced me to the 101 Goals in 1001 days project. I made my list of 101 Goals and 1001 days later I had completed about 60+ of them, crossed off another 20 after deciding I no longer considered them important, and just didn't get around to doing the others.
Now it is time to start a new list. (Okay, actually I started this a month ago, but am just now getting around to sharing it.) If you notice blank spots next to certain numbers it is not because I don't have a goal there, it is because it is a little to personal, a little to close to my heart, and I'm just not comfortable sharing it out loud with anyone just yet. Maybe someday I will. And then again, maybe I won't. We'll see.
Anyway... here's the list...
