Just looking for the right one.
27. THROW A PARTY FOR A FRIEND.
Baby shower planned for 7/10/14.
28. FIND AT LEAST 1 HAPPINESS IN EVERY DAY x 365 DAYS!
This might be harder than I think, but I'm going to buy a calendar and every night before bed I am going to write down one thing that made me happy that day (even if it's a simple as a cup of coffee). Since I have just over 1 year until my 30th and I REALLY wanna cross everything off my list, this starts TODAY!
So... I have a paper with all this written down. It also includes a #29 and #30 but I'm not quite ready to share those two bucket list items.
I know what a lot of you might be thinking...
maybe #29 is move back to North Carolina and #30 is have a baby!?!?!
I'm sure that would make both of our parents very happy but, that's not what they are.
They are just personal goals of mine that I'm not ready to share just yet. But, when I check them off my list, I will let you know what they were and that I have ACCOMPLISHED them!
Ok, so there you have it. That's my list to complete over the next year. There's a LOT of stuff on that list that makes me nervous but this blog is all about being outside of my "comfort zone," right?
I will keep you all informed as I check off items on my list (especially those secretive #'s 29 and 30)! The best part of this entire thing, was that it made me realize all the things I've already done. I went to the internet for inspiration because coming up with 30 realistic things to do in 1 year is actually a little tough. In reading other people's lists, I realized how blessed my life has been in 28 short years. I also realized a lot of my priorities (fitness... travel... spiritual health... etc). I have a better understanding of who I am and that's exactly how I want to feel leaving my 20's and entering my 30's. This upcoming last year in my 20's is sure to be a memorable one!
