I had a notebook, back when I was you, and I had a list of goals that I kept in it. I find that notebook every decade or so, and it's interesting to see what we did, what we didn't do, and what we don't care about anymore.
Sometimes it's good to make a list like this one because you go through times when you feel like nothing's ever happened to you, or you haven't ever had any fun, or you never have any real trials. But this list will remind you.
What!? no shout out?? You can thank your dear old brother for number 77.
Well I think I am responsible for a few of those myself but who's counting. You have done some great things in your life. Way to go!!!
When did you go Skinny dipping? And with who or do I want to know?
I don't think you want to know Mom, there's probably a lot that you don't want to know.
