IM HOPING THAT MY LIST ENCOURAGES SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE A LIST OF GOALS, RESOLUTIONS, HOPES, DREAMS WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT AND MAKES A POINT TO COMPLETE THE LIST. THIS IS ONLY HALF MY LIST...BUT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE, I DONT WANT TO GET AHEAD OF MYSELF AND LOSE SIGHT OF MY GOALS.

IF ANYONE ELSE TRIES THIS LET ME KNOW. I'D LOVE TO COMPARE GOALS AND METHODS TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS.

GOD BLESS. NIGHT
