101 in 1001 - THE list

"You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream..." - C.S. Lewis

I like lists, and if I didn't make to do lists I'm not sure that I'd ever actually complete things I need to complete. I haven't really made any lists of goals lately, so when I read about the 101 goals in 1001 days challenge, I loved it.

The idea: make a list of 101 goals/things you want to do in the next 1001 days. (1001 days is around 2.75 years) Tasks must be specific and realistic. For more on the idea - http://dayzeroproject.com/about/

So, here's my 101 in 1001 list..which, by the way, is tough to make! It took me weeks. I'm going to post it today and then think about it for another day or so to be able to decide if any tasks are too ridiculous or just too easy. I think July 1st sounds like a good 1st day of the challenge. I'm trying to get friends to make lists too so we can all do the challenge together :)
