{101 in 1001}

Last January, I introduced my 101 things in 1001 days goals. I love goals; they’re something to constantly work toward, to be proud of, to check off your list. I kind of fell off the wagon a few months later, and eventually even deleted the page that I had. But today, I’m reintroducing it. Because it was fun being able to work toward something that I’d written down. It makes all of those abstract goals seem not so scary.

I’ve modified things a bit, and there are a few lists {like 101 recipes} that I might just start over completely, but I’m keeping my original date of September 28th of 2013.

You're inspiring me to make my own list. This is awesome! I love that you include fun ones as well as super practical, like finding a way to exercise that you like. That's definitely one of my constant life goals and so far yoga is the best that I've found.

That 50 thank you notes one should be easy. You must have 50 couples, vendors etc you can send to right now. Heck you can even send me a thank you for suggesting it. :)

Good luck with your list!
