My Life List

The close to another year is upon us, and it's always about this time that I reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead. I think about what have I accomplished and what do I want to do next. To keep track, I have created a Life List. This is something I have been working on for the past couple of years, and I just revisited my list lately to update it and add more items. On it I have listed many meaningful goals that I want to achieve during my lifetime. Now that I have worked on my Life List more, I am really looking forward to 2009 and all the possible items I can mark off my list.
