I have seen these goal lists many times but I finally decided to make one of my own.  I always think of things that I would love to do “someday”…or there are things on my mental to do list that just never get done.  So here is a written list that I am putting on our blog for accountability.  I am excited to check things off!  I will keep this list as a tab at the top of our blog and will cross off items as I complete them.  If I blog about a specific item, I will also add the link to that post.

  1. Hello Bonnie! I haven’t commented on your blog for quite a long time, but this list is truly stirring and inspiring me to action! I am sure you will enjoy both the process of ticking off the tasks and the results and new experiences.
    Thank you for this post.
    Blessings,
    Ivana

  2. I love that many of these things are not monstrous projects . . . just the things we tend to say we’ll do “someday”. By getting them on paper, it can help you focus and actually accomplish them. There really is something very satisfying about marking things off the list. I’m looking forward to hearing how it all goes.

  3. Oh you have some good ones on this list, wish I would have thought of the ‘don’t eat out for a month’ one. Best of luck getting them all done 🙂
