  4. Good luck on number 3!! If I were to make that a goal, it would have to be to stay under 7 for at least a year...I am always right on that line.

    Do you like that you have 1001 days? It's good that you have plenty of time to get it done, but for me that would be dangerous. I procrastinate when it comes to doing things for me. I think I'd get to 30 more days with more than 30 things to do. Maybe that means this list would be a good things for me to do.
