“If not now, then when?” My friend B said to me as we sat in my office, discussing my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. I had created my list 3 months prior and it sat with very little progress. I shrugged. My life was and is a hot mess. My girls take dance, play softball, and I am overly involved with the Girl Scouts in our community. I’m existing… going through the motions, but am I really living? I’m a dreamer and I have so much I want to do, one day… but I never seem to make time to do it. So, I decided to create my list, which I finished in time for New Years. Cheesy, I know. Then it fizzled out. I went back to existing and planning to do my things “one day.” B’s words, “if not now, then when?” rang in my brain. Would I wake up one day, a senior citizen, and realize that I didn’t live enough? Regret the things that I planned to do, but never committed to finish? I need to do it. I need to put pen to paper, metaphorically, and make it happened.
Without further ado, here is my list of 101 Things to do in 1001 Days:
