101 Goals in 1001 Days

Today begins an interesting journey, thanks to Haley and Ann. They've each started a list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. A tad bit overwhelming but what the heck, I might as well join in. I was surprised how quickly my list took shape. I'm sure you'll hear a little bit more as I cross off each goal. It's going to be a BUSY 1001 days!
