100 Things To Do Before I Go, Part I

Last week I focused on things I've already done. This week, the things I've yet to do - this is sort of a combination (in theory) of the 101 in 1001 and the Mondo Beyondo lists. Questions to ponder:

• What would surprise me if I found out I hadn’t done it by the time I died?
• What are the little things I expect to just unroll in front of me?
• What are the big, amazing things that absolutely wouldn’t happen without some heads-down, teeth-clenched work?
• What things have I been concentrating on that don’t really matter?

Memories that I hope to make before the end of my life; one hundred Things To Do, numbers one through twenty.

My source of inspiration is, once again, Mighty Girl. There's a reason she wrote a book full of inspiration!
