I have also been a wanting-to-start-a-blog girl for awhile too. However, I couldn't on earth imagine what in the world I would blog about. Enter...Charlie Capp, my soon-to-be brother-in-law. Last week, when looking at his blog for an image from a card he had made, I noticed something I hadn't seen before. He had a list of 101 things that he wanted to accomplish in 1001 days. Do I need to say it again? There was a list. I went to www.dayzeroproject.com. There were a lot of people that had made lists.
So...I made a list.
The first thing I did from my list-start a blog. And for me, I hope it will be a blog about my journey to complete, in 1001 days, the 101 things I put on my list. Some of the things on my list will be easy and some will be more difficult. Some will bring me great joy and others are sure to bring tears. But in the end, checking this list off isn't what I want this to be all about. I hope to learn more about myself and others around me. I hope I stop and enjoy the little things before I don't have to the chance to enjoy them. I hope those that mean the most to me, will know it.
One thing done...100 more to go. I have 998 days to finish the rest. Join me, won't you?

Hey! I think you're great and I like you. :)
ReplyDeleteI like #56. Play and finish a game of Monopoly with Joe without cheating. You're such a cheat!! :) I don't think I ever won a game of Yatzee. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your list alot. It's diverse and encourages your overall well-being.
So, Today is a new day and you have not blogged anything. I'm forced to believe that you are skiing in a kayak in Hawaii while baking over a campfire and doing a 1000+piece puzzle. Or maybe it is hosting the party with your five friends who suggested a book and you are all on the beach in front of a fire or at a yoga class. Fine... I'll wait the week to see the next post. I think I'll go take a cooking class or watch a documentary.
