My Best Year Yet

For those of you who've read more than a couple of posts—thanks Mom and Dad!—you understand by obsession with lists. Like this one, which (sadly) I never finished. It's not the first list I left incomplete, and I'm sure it won't be my last. But, as we enter into the first ten days of 2018, I've decided there is one list I am committed to finishing. It's an easy one, and one that will make this year my best year yet.

Once again I found inspiration on one of my favorite sites, The Everygirl. They recently published their 2018 Bucket List, and I have to say it motivated me to share it with you all—all meaning 2 people (Hi, Mom and Dad) or all meaning the unknown audience of hundreds who read this without my knowing. I hope it inspires you to make 2018 your best year and encourage you to follow this list or create your own. Just do something to make your life, and the life of someone else, a little better, a little brighter, and a lot happier.
