Great list and I agree it's not easy thinking of 101 things you really really want to do, that are also at least semi practical. Good luck in reaching your goals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to them too - I look at it as if I've given myself *permission* to go and do all that stuff I always wanted to do :)
