Okay, so we all know I've got a slight obsession with lists. But I think lists are an essential fact of life. Not only for the simple act of remembering, but for dreaming too. I started compiling a list of things I wanted to accomplish in the near future, and decided to turn it into one of those "# by #" lists.
Bandwagon. Unoriginal. Call it what you will, but I figured choosing 14 things was much more manageable than a 23 by 24 list.
Regardless, I'm pretty excited for this list. All of the items listed are things I want to do, but maybe wouldn't normally do or need a little extra push to do it. I think I've got a good mix of local fun, small acts of kindness, and personal indulgences, and I hope to check all of these off by the end of the year.
I know it sounds like a large amount of time, but trust me when I say this could be a challenge. ( I still have yet to redeem a massage that I received as a gift in 2010! )
However, I did just check off my first item last week. ( One of my friends and I tried out a hot yoga studio – love. ) Here's to checking off the remaining thirteen items!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know you guys were doing that – go you guys! If the weather warms up and I can start training outdoors, I may be up for that. That sounds like a fun race so maybe that'll be a good one to strive for! Also, thanks for commenting – made my morning! :)
