"30 before 30"
Everyone has been asking "what are your resolutions?" and of course I've thought of many things I want to stop, improve, do better or try for the first time so today while I was thinking of a creative way to write them down and actively 'do them' I remembered my 'bucket list' which I first blogged just shy of a year ago 1/29/10, but created in August of 2008. I glanced at the list and realized I've forgotten to cross a few off from the past few months...#9 find a job I love (Duckhorn 7/17/10) and #21 Travel to Italy (9/29/10-10/8/10). Looking at the list its pretty far fetched and of course I would love to think that most things on the list are 'do-able' in my lifetime but for the meantime I need a short term list so I came up with '30 before 30' which I quickly learned from googling is not a very original idea. 30 things to accomplish, try, work on, or stop doing before I turn 30, and since my original bucket list only had 61 items I think I'll add these new 30 items to it to get me closer to that magic number 100. Now I still need to figure out how to physically cross some of these off because a few are things that I want to continue to do indefinitely. But first two pictures to represent my two most recent accomplishments...a job a love and Italy!
