This is a list I’ve made over and over. I saw my favorite bloggers creating 30 Before 30 lists, but never got around to mine back when I was turning 30 (I was busy planning a wedding, I guess).
But since it’s never too late to
learn/do something new, I made one at 40. And then again at 41. And now here I
am at 42.5 and realizing I’ve neglected my life list.
Time to revisit, and give myself a
break. So here it is, the 41.5 to do by 43 list.
