It’s that time again to give you an update on my 101 list. Only 8 more months to go before completing this project! I’ve come to the realization that some of these items will not happen when my 1001 days are over. And I’m completely ok with that. Some of these are life events that will happen when they are meant to happen (and thankfully we are leaning toward them actually happening!!!). Some of these I don’t really have the desire to do anymore. Some of these won’t happen because I don’t have the vacation time to do so. Some of these won’t happen because there isn’t enough time—I really don’t think I’m going to get through all the Oscar movies. I still have 125 movies left to watch…that would be 15.5 a month or 3 a week
Instead of rushing around trying to get these completed (and being let down when they don’t happen) I’m going to complete them when they happen. It’s still going to be hard to let some of these items go, but that just means they will roll over onto my next 101 list. (I’m a list person and something like this forces me to get out and do something that I’ve been wanting to do and haven’t.)
So, here is to the next 8 months. Let’s see where they take me! (Don’t worry, I’ll have 1 more check-in in November.)
