101 IN 1001

About 8 or 9 years ago, I saw this challenge to make a list of 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days. Being the dreamer/list maker that I am...I was instantly intrigued. I whipped up my list one afternoon and over the next three years managed to mark many things off. I think I still have the print out somewhere in all my paperwork. I want to find it and see how much I have marked off in the last several years.

Since then, I have done similar lists...but usually just monthly goals or birthday to birthday goals. I recently stumbled upon the 101 in 1001 idea again here and here. I've been thinking about it a lot...and decided that now's the time to try it again.

Oddly enough..it's been a lot more challenging to come up with 101 goals this time around. I'm not sure if that means I lack ambition or that I am ultra comfortable where I am. Pretty sure it's not the latter. Ha. .

So anyway...technically, I started my 1001 days on August 13, 2014 and if I did my math correctly...1001 days from then is May 10, 2017. (Which just happens to be my birthday!!).
