Well, another year has gone by and that means another list of things I want to do. This is my third year of The List. I never quite finish it all, but that really isn't the point. It is there to get me to think outside of my comfort level and get inspired to create new things. I also like when I write up a new list because I get all inspired and productive for a little bit. In fact, I've already made an appointment to donate blood tomorrow. Yee Haw!

Don't wait until you 40's to work on your list.
I've done quite a few of these in the past too. But I want to do them again this year! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the list!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, every year you put one out I get all inspired to do my own, but never really follow through. Maybe I'll try again this year and make sure I have stuff like try your home-made bitters, eat all your gluten-free experiments, go to a friend's place for craft night, and watch an animated short made by someone I know. :)
By the way, there's a mid-century furniture place down the street from us that's pretty good. Next time you are over we should check it out.
