That's how many days I have been alive...
SHEESH! That's a lot of days. It's funny -- some I can't remember at all and some are as strongly with me as the moment that they happened. Some were fantastic, some were truly tragic and some were just plain ole days.
I decided for my 37th birthday, I would compile my Bucket List -- the 100 things I want to do before I die. And let me tell you -- it was MUCH harder than I anticipated it would be. But here it is. Some will get crossed off quickly, some will take some time but I love the idea of just putting it out there. For all I know, someone will stumble across this blog and say "hey, I can help make that happen" and then you're off to the races, right?
