There
is something about getting older that really makes you think…What have I done with
my life, and what do I still want to do?
My best friend and I decided to make our own lists of 40 things we want
to do before we are 40. So here is my “laminated
list”. I have 3 years to complete this,
and yes, I realize it is very ambitious, but I am up for the challenge. Once I
complete something off my list, I will blog about why it was there in the first
place, and my experience completing it.
Wish me luck! And if you have any advice, please feel free to share 😀
