My 101 in 1001
Kaitlin started doing one of these list so I through I’d jump on the bandwagon.
The main idea is to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days - which works out to be 2.75 years. It seems like so far away and yet - I know that day will creep up on me when I least suspect it. I will be 22 years old, my kids will be 4 (almost 5) and just turned 3. Where will the time and those first 3 years of each of their lives have gone? Perhaps goals in a wonderful list will help me feel more control of the inevitable passage of time.
