The Bucket List

I've never been one for keeping New Year resolutions. I tend to either make too many that I never keep, or ones that are too difficult to achieve in a year. That's why I decided to start a bucket list instead. Rather than giving myself a year to complete a set of random resolutions- I would make a list of the goals I want to achieve throughout my life. Hence the bucket list. While it's no where near finished, I am pretty happy with the goals I've added so far, so thought I'd share them with you.

  5. Love that you have a mix of high and low resolutions, so to speak - one's that you can do almost anywhere, like try a yoga class, and one's that will take a long time, like write a book. This was really humorous and interesting :)
