A New Year, A New... List?

Happy New Year!

Ok, so I've been pretty bad about keeping up with this blog. But that's okay. It's just a blog! :) I would resolve to write more, but I have a tendency to let resolutions fall by the wayside, and quickly at that. So I'll just continue to update when I feel like it.

However, I did complete quite a task- a task full of tasks to complete, actually. I made my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, with the starting date of today (01.01.10). (I actually just wrote 2009... this may take a while to catch on to!)

Hopefully I'll be able to grow from this list and have lots of new experiences. And I'm willing to accept that I may not be able to complete all the tasks in those 1001 days (ending 09.28.12), but it's the trying that counts! :)

Anyway, to learn more about the project, visit the Day Zero Project.
