A little late is better than never


So this month found me at home only 5 days. I have been traveling quite a bit. I hope to post more pictures soon. As my birthday just occurred and I found myself reviewing my life and goals, I came across this list on a blog. The things I have done are in blue- I was surprised at how many have already been accomplished, and some important one’s I’ve missed, but luckily there is still time to complete them, and will probably have a good portion of those that are still to come done within the year. (That is definitely one benefit to living in Europe- places no longer seem so far away). And yet, some, I hope, I will never do! Enjoy and let me know what your list looks like.
