Can it really be a year since I've started this blog and
adventure journey?! It’s amazing how time flies when you’re having fun. J When I was thinking about
how I wanted to write this post, I was contemplating talking about the bad that’s
happened this year with the good, or to just leave the bad out completely. Then
I thought I accomplished items when the bad came along, so I need to talk
about.
I think that I could have done better with getting more
things crossed off my {101 in 1001} list, which is what this blog is all about.
There are something’s that I will not write a post about (the simpler tasks;
buy flowers for no reason) but most adventures or big ticket items I will write
about. I have completed 16 of 101 items in all of the categories with 6 still
in progress. Like I stated, I feel like I could have done better, however; #8
is half finished (Read 20 books) and #55 just needs one more to complete it
(Experience food in 15 new restaurants) and then there are others that will not
be able to be checked off till the very end because they are ones that I need
to hold myself accountable for throughout the whole challenge.
I have tweaked a few items here and there to make them
geared more towards me. When I saw this challenge/list it was off of my friend Jyndia's Blog that she had
started, so something’s were just ideas until I knew what I really wanted to do
and thought about my dreams and what I want to accomplish in the 1001 days.
Along with the good this year, has come the bad like I was talking about in the
beginning part of this post. Losing my Uncle last May suddenly (Until
we meet again) was hard for me to handle and therefore I changed a few
things to accomplish that has to do with him and my memories of him. With this,
came a lot of great things this past year. My brother got engaged over the 4th
of July at St. Paul Rodeo and I got a new position at work that I am very happy
with and feel right at home and where I’m supposed to be at in my career.
My goals for this year 2014 mainly are to complete 10 things
off my list, with me completely 3 already this year. I know that a lot of my
travel and adventures overlap onto what would be the same trip or trips when I take
them, but they all go together with dreams that I've had or things/places that I've wanted to see. I think that I will crush my 10 items this year to complete (I
really only need 7 more to reach that goal). So maybe I should make it 20?! I
know that I can do that for sure. This year has been a fun one and a sad one
but I am happy that I have created this blog and that I can document my
adventures and dreams, even though many people may not always read this blog,
at least I can say I've done it!
