53 OUT OF 99 THINGS I COMPLETED IN THE YEAR 2001
This was my first-ever "things to do" list that I made in 2001. I accomplished only 50% of them.I'm posting this list to the blog partly for posterity, partly to remind myself of how much I've changed and grown over the years. There were simple, little things, that I hoped would change my life, and change the lives of others.
