Readers who’ve been with me for awhile might remember that I shared my 100 things list a few months ago just before the new year. This is a list I started a few years ago and keep updating with new goals and accomplishments. Basically, it’s all the things I want to do in my lifetime. I haven’t reached 100 things on the list yet, but that’s okay because life is a work in progress.

I figured being that the year is about 1/3 over, now would be a good time for an update.

I also shared my New Years’ Resolutions, which are still in progress . . . I think I am close to checking at least one off that list. Yay!
