majestic_duxkI love these things. I don't always do them. But I have managed to cross some big things off over the years: publish in a scientific journal, get a phd, take a jumping photo in front of stonehenge, live and work in another country. And little things too. Have a picnic at hanging rock, wear matching socks for a month, bake 10 new things, build a snowman, .
I love the possibility that they bring with them.
So. I am going to make my new list, and work on it over the next 1001 days.
