My friend Amy brought this idea to my attention a few months ago. I loved the idea but never got around to making the list. She created a list and started it today and I thought it would be great to start one the same day to motivate each other. I've been having a difficult time thinking about the future, but when I read her list I felt more optimistic. Since Ive been bored out my mind today, I sat down and spent the last hour creating my list. So by September 25, 2013 these are the things I hope to achieve.
