thirty-two

The birthday came and went – and it was a wonderful day! We had fun celebrating even if we the Lil’Miss was fighting a stomach bug (and believe me, she was still up for the party!)

I was so incredibly happy that my well-intentioned, but quickly forgotten list for 31 was so well fulfilled. Honestly, I’m surprised that I accomplished as many of those items as I did, especially without the list out as a constant reminder. Obviously, most of the things that I wrote down were really things that I wanted to do, not just flighty things that I wrote down on a whim. That must mean that I know myself, right? And for that reason,  I’ve been a little hesitant to finish up my list for 32. What if it proves differently? What if the items I’m writing down are more to fill the space than meaningful things to learn and accomplish? And so, there aren’t 32 things on my list. I’m ok with that. Numbers 27-32 would have been just fluff anyway. I’m looking forward to crossing every item off the list this year… lets hit it!
