101 Goals
So my 1001 days ended July 21, 2010. I think I did alright considering I didn’t blog about each experience and wasn’t making conscious efforts to cross things off, for the most part. I think putting these things on a list did put them on the top of my brain so they did get done. 
YAY!
Will I do another? Maybe. But not now.
My good friend Monica has started to work on reaching 101 goals in 1001 days. Sounds like a neat idea so I’m going to try to do the same basic thing. Without further ado, here are my 101 goals for the next 1001 days:
