43 Things

Jess inspired me to make this list of 43 goals, followed by Clare. My chiropractor told me he does a list of 100 each year. I always wanted to do it, and figured it's easier to start out with 43. At first, you wonder what to write. Then you get over a hump and you could go on and on! I stuck with 43 for this posting, but may keep going at home, because you know what? Goals are awesome! They make life so much more fun.

I remember going for years without goals. I really felt like I was missing something. I invite anyone to try this and keep your list in a special place...at the end of this year you will find that you have scratched things off. Some can roll over 'til next year, and you will add new ones that you never would have thought of today. Isn't that fun?

you may have just inspired me to write my own list. i've heard that if you put your intentions/goals down on paper, it puts them out there in the universe and before you know it, they start to happen. I did this once a couple of years ago and i know i accomplished some of the things but I need to go back and see what else may have been done on that old list. It may help to jump start the new list too.

the other great thing about having a goals list is that then your friends can read it and may be able to help or support you in reaching them. ...so, if you ever want to have a pie baking party, just let me know ;)
