101 in 1001

I like lists. I make a 'To do' list at the office, a 'To buy' list when grocery shopping and I have list of the things I want to buy one day. During my daily blog stalking, I saw that Mellisa Jill had a 101 in 1001 list inspired by Jessica Claire. I was also inspired to start a list. 101 things to do in 1001 days!

Mellisa Jill mentioned that she wouldn't be solely driven by this list and that she will listen Gods voice. I agree. I don't know what adventurous turn my life will make next but there are a couple of things I would like to do, God willing. I have to admit, to think of 101 things to do was quite a task. I got stuck at around #58 and it took me a good 2 weeks to think of the rest!

I'm putting it up on my blog so that I can track my progress and mark it off as I go along. After all, the most satisfying thing about a list is getting to cross things off. So here it is... drum roll please....
