[flickr id=”5944091199″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”small” group=”” align=”left”]Two years ago I made a 45X45 list. 45 things I wanted to do before I turned 45.
Considering this year I turned 35 (yikes) and now have about 9.5 years left at this point I thought I would revisit it. Change up a few things and see what I can do.
Items in Red are DONE. Complete. Finito. (You know, those two little lonely items on this list).
Items in Purple are new…a change from my original goals/dreams
