The List.

Well when I first started writing this blog I made a lost of 101 things I wanted to do in 1001 days. Some of the items were hard, some easy. I only got 47 done, but now it's time to make another list...hopefully I will get more done on the next one.


The mission: to complete all 101 things in 1001 days.
Start date: 6/21/09
End date: 3/18/12

Line = Done!!!
Bold = Working on it currently.

1. Exercise will become a common ritual. I will either complete a good hour of yoga, go for a nice long run to clear my head, or will at least hit the gym for a solid workout. I will become more active in my life.
2. I will not lie to myself.
3. Post a blog as much as possible to keep you all posted on my progress if nothing else.
4. Take as many pictures as possible. I've been avoiding digital photography for some reason I can't explain. But I’m done hiding behind film.
5. Stop feeling guilty about people caring about me. They are allowed to.
6. I will get rid of my fear of phone talking. I really need to get over being so awkward on the phone.
7. Read other blogs as much as possible. I want to know what other people's views are on the world and everything else.
8. Put $5 away for every goal that I complete.
9. Read the newspaper. You would think that someone who wants to possibly be in journalism would read the newspaper on a regular basis. But no, I have for some reason failed at doing this. So I will start to read the newspaper on a daily basis.
10. Get lost often.....you have to keep life interesting.
11. Do something for someone else as much as possible. I'm pretty well off compared to most and doing something for someone can be so simple. The smallest things can mean the world to some people.

14. Carry a book of quotes and write one on a piece of paper and place it on every bulletin board I see.
