On New Year's Day 2011, I started this list of intentions for the coming year. 2011 is over, but the list of things I want to learn, places I want to go, and things I want to do lives on.
I wouldn't necessarily consider this a "life list" because I expect to do these things way before age 80. But it is a living, growing list. Additions to the original list will be made in lavender, because it's pretty.
Items that are crossed off are completed.
