I don’t know if this is a normal feeling but I am feeling a little disappointed I have not accomplished more goals, especially in the personal and health categories. Just goes to show you I tend to put myself last. So I have to make a change to that. Have you done your own 101 in 1,001 list? How did you do? If you end up doing one, let me know – I’d love to read it and we can cheer each other along.
xo.
