I came across this idea on a random blog and decided to do it. I googled it and found a LOT of information. An organization, Day Zero, came up with the idea to create a list with 101 goals to accomplish in 1001 days. The tasks are to be attainable but stretching at the same time. Why 1001 days? That's what I was wondering. The explanation makes sense though... According to Michael Green, many people set goals and do not set a realistic time to accomplish the goals. He does not believe that a year is a significant amount of time to accomplish significant goals. So- he came up with 101 in 1001 with the hopes that 2.75 years will give people a more realistic time frame to accomplish a whole lot of things. That is my summary in a nutshell. I am going to note the things I have done in PINK. SO... here is my list:

ReplyDeleteI love it!! However, you have slept under the stars not in a tent!! Remember, we slept on your driveway in sleeping bags and saw like a million shooting stars and fell asleep to the lovely sound of a million generators!!
ReplyDeleteKelly, That was some experience, wasn't it? Hurricane Ivan and no power. The main thing I remember about that day/night/week was trying to get back into Pensacola on that 2nd or 3rd day afterward and Papa REALLY wanting us to take his truck since we were going to be transporting gas in. We sat in VERY VERY SLOW moving traffic for hours and my booty almost didn't make it since Papa's truck was a stick shift and my left foot was pressing clutch down for about 5 straight hours.... UGH, It hurts now remembering:)
