100

I was inspired by a friend that listed 100 resolutions for himself. That seemed like a lot but his list was so great. It ranged from exercising more to seeing a professional football game. I loved it.

I decided to make my own list. I don't necessarily believe in the whole New Year's Resolution thing but I like the idea of having goals for myself. Or reminders. So here goes....

I started this list a few days ago, shortly after I read my friend's. But it took me awhile to finish it. Work and life and other such things got in the way. I think it's a good list. I think it was worth the time. Now I have a list of ideas to be a better me.
