Lists.

Actually THE LIST.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got a new follower on Instagram, and after checking out her square pics, I followed the link over to her blog. Where, after reading a few entries, I found her Bucket List. While reading her list, I said to myself, "I've done that" or "that's a good idea, I should add that to my ... WAIT A MINUTE, Jane. Where're you at with your 101 Things to do in 1,001 Days List?"

Sigh.

I had forgotten about it recently.

I'm at the tail end of that list, only 157 days until my original 1,001 days are up. Only 45 of 101 goals completed. Argh. Will I manage to get a passing grade?

Time to get more intentional on how I spend my evenings and weekends. OR I could change a bunch of those items to include Pokemon catching goals. Like, "Get to Level 30" or Have 200 Pokemon in your Pokedex" instead of "Go to bed 10 nights in a row before midnight".


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a bucket list?

What's on it?

Three things I'm thankful for:

1. Lists. And how sometimes they can keep you on track.
2. Other people's blogs. And how inspiring they can be.
3. Check marks. And how satisfying it is to complete something.


Shalom, xo


In case you're not the clicking type, here's my master list:
But if you want to read the notes I've added for the completed items, you WILL have to click on the link (clink?) to see those. Like, for item #82, for example....
