101 in 1001

Recently one of my friends decided to do 101 goals in 1001 days. I didn't make any resolutions or goals this year and I've felt a little sad about it and decided I should hop on her band wagon and do the 101 in 1001. It was really good for me because it helped me realize how unambitious I have become. It was a struggle to get to 40 then I finally remembered there is more to life than making it to bedtime and was able to really get going. I finished the list a while ago (compiled it on my phone) but I'll go ahead and mark tomorrow as my starting date.

This is cool! I want to do a lot of these too. Next time we go to California I'll have to look up Solvang and Hearst. I want to have a book club too. I wonder if virtual book clubs are a thing? :)
