    For some reason, your list sounds more fun than my list!

    I’m actually okay with re-assigning some of the items on the list, or admitting that they weren’t things I really wanted to do at the time, I just added them to fill out the list. And now I have new things I want to do. I wasn’t very good at making and setting goals, and my 101in1001 list has taught me quite a bit, which is a “win” in my book.

    I’m going to add “learn to use punctuation” to my addendum list. ;)
