100 Things To Do in Life

I love life! I really, really do! We've been blessed with so many opportunities! Sometimes it just makes me excited to think of all the things we can do here in mortality!

A couple years ago I wrote up 100 Things I'm going to do in life and I decided (along with my personal history that I'm sure I'll write in my later years) that I'm going to write a book with my experiences with these things: If I ever did them, how I accomplished it, lessons learned, and even lessons learned if I didn't accomplish it. It's going to be so much fun! And I think it will be a great legacy to pass on! :)

If you've never sat down and written a list like this I HIGHLY suggest it! It has been a blessing to have during times that I've been down, depressed, and unmotivated. Its reminded me that there is so much to do and we only have one lifetime to do them! Anyway, if you get a minute I would definitely write one out. (Make sure 1-they are things in your control! 2-They are completable!)

Since this is a STUDY of MY LIFE I thought it would be more than appropriate to put these on my blog and track them. So here it is...
