I don't really like the idea of New Years Resolutions but I do like lists. More importantly, I like checking off items on a list. I like the feeling of progress, moving forward, accomplishing little tasks that make a larger whole.
This is my Day Zero and it couldn't have come at a better time. My life seems to have been on hold the past few years. A feeling of treading water has permeated my day to day. It is time to start ticking items off a list. My list...my 101 things to do in 1001 days.
