Another project that I have been working on is coming up with a list of 100 things I would like to do in my lifetime. I saw the idea at Karen Walrond's blog
www.chookooloonks.com/blog who was inspired by Mighty Girl (Maggie Mason)
http://www.mightygirl.com/ They both have incredible lists and plenty to say about how to come up with your own list. They were able to sit down and in 2 hours come up with their lists. For me, I need to spend some time mulling over all of the possibilities and see what fits. You are not allowed to add things that if you don't accomplish, you will feel bad about (like clean the house or losing weight). You also do not need to complete the list. They are just ideas and once you write them down, you will find ways of making some if not all of them happen. They also do not need to be things like going to the other side of the world and doing something outrageous. Some can just be doing something you may have already done before but just with a different person (fly fishing with my dad) or multiple times (taking 1,000 photo's of dogs). I am only up to #16 on my list but everyday I get newly inspired by something and "Ah - that needs to go on my list!" Hope you have fun coming up with your list of 100+ ideas of exciting things to do in your lifetime!
