Day Zero Project

Lately I've come to understand that a blog doesn't necessarily have to be hilarious to be an exceptional blog. A blog that inspires and uplifts is also an exceptional blog. As much as I appreciate good humor, there are other worthy things to promote. But enough of this meta-blogging.
I was recently introduced to a website called the Day Zero Project where you can make a list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. As I was making my list and using their Idea Finder, I was happy to see that there were several things suggested that used to be on my To Do list but are now on my Done list. But it was also rewarding in a way just to make a new list, to redefine some of the things I want from life. I tried to include some practical goals, some dreams, some enlightening goals, and some whimsical goals which may prove to be the most difficult for me. Here is the list I ended up with.

1 Go on a safari in Africa

101 Spend an afternoon reading at the park

I'm not too set on the 1001 days bit, but several of these goals are in sight and I think I'll start making headway really soon. I'm curious about what you would add to your list, so leave me a comment or make a list of your own and let me know.
