My 101 things in 1001 days

Some of you may be familiar with the 101 Things in 1001 Days project. Basically you make a list of 101 things that you would like to do in 1001 days; which is about 2.75 years. The list can be made up of pretty much anything - just no wishy-washy items. Like "be nicer", "run more" or "eat better". They have to be solid items that you can cross off of your list once you complete them. Like "hold 10 doors for strangers", "run 8 miles" or "make 1o homemade meals".
I have seen this done a few times before and thought the concept was wonderful. It makes you set goals and helps you achieve them on your own term. And since you have over 2 years to do so, the end is not so intimidating.
I for one do not partake in New Years resolutions. I think they are pointless - people only do the, for a few weeks and they go back to their old ways. I am firm believer that you can change anytime you want and accomplish your goals any day of the week. This is my journey.
I will be blogging about each item I accomplish. This should be a fun adventure! I started on September 17th 2009 and my end date is June 14th 2012. But I must admit I did put a few things on my list that I have already done only because they have been on my list my entire life! Please leave comments if you wish and if I have helped you start your own blog please leave me your website. I love to support others on their quest! Thanks for stopping by!
