I love your list. So many things I also would love to do and a few of them that I have. It looks so much cooler written out…mine is a mental list while the written lists tend to be chores and bills. I’d definitely prefer to write down and complete a list like this!
Interesting, never thought about a list like this! Pretty cool! Good luck on finishing!
