I love # 101 - too funny! But I love it!

[Monica G]

It had taken me about half a year to make a list of 360 things that are simple enough to do on a daily basis, but completely enjoyable at the same time. I started at 17 with the idea of completing them every day while i was 18. I really just wanted to feel like i was accomplishing things everyday and to make sure i was not taking life for granted. I wanted to be able to look back on my life and feel like i hadn't just wasted it, so i decided to make the list up to 360 and choose one thing to do every day. (and when i talk about wasting life, i mean every single second of it lol) That seemed like a great idea and an easy one at that, but it didn't quite work out that way. Despite how simple they are, our lives still get busy. So now, it is still my goal to complete each of these, but within a few years rather than one. I embrace being busy now, because the greatest miracles are sometimes just thrown at you, rather than planned out. However, it's so nice to have a list of backup plans to battle boredom =P Thanks so much to everyone that's enjoyed my long list, and i wish you all the best of luck in creating and completing your own!!
Love,
Mo =)
