101 things to do in 1001 days

Items in yellow are ones I am actively working on now. Items in blue are finished. Also, I wrote my list backwards, so high numbers are the ones I came up with first... might be interesting to you. I made my list first with no categories and then when I put the items into categories I was suprised how many fell into the "Be Healthy" group. I'm sure most people think I'm very healthy, but I disagree... perhaps my expectations are outta whack!
