101 Things in 2015
Wednesday, December 03, 2014
I've been thinking a lot about my Bucket List, and decided to make it official.
A few weeks ago, I shared the Top Ten Things on My Bucket List. Prior to writing that down, I hadn't put much thought into a bucket list. I kept saying there were things I'd like to do someday, but I guess it was just never a top priority. However, after I really set down those ten things, I started thinking about what would actually be on my bucket list if I had one.
I didn't like the idea of an unachievable bucket list, or one that seemed too unpractical. But I recently found a list of 300 things to do in your life, and decided to take that and make it my own. Some of the items on that list I had absolutely no desire to ever do, and there were a few things I wanted to do that weren't listed.
I went through their list, and created one of my own. And from that, I picked out what I wanted to do over the next year.
And now I'm sharing it with you. So here you go... In no particular order,
101 Things In 2015!

I always enjoy your posts. If you accomplish all of these things in your lifetime you will be way ahead a lot of folks! I wish you well!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome list of things to do in 2015!! I have a "Bucket List" - but at 63 I prefer to call it my "Things I Want to Do" list instead of "kick the bucket" list!! I haven't counted them - but have them typed up and thought I'd post it on my blog sometime! I've crossed off the ones already done; and want to also do a scrapbook with pictures of those already done! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful list! I gleaned some good ideas as well!!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the impressive list for one year! I hope you'll keep us posted on your accomplishments :).
