25 things

I opened up an old document as I was searching through some of my random desktop folders.

It was titled "25 things", and I was curious as to what it was - a story? a poem? a quote?

It listed 25 things I want to do/accomplish/experience in my lifetime - a bucket list, you might say.

I was surprised I had no recollection of writing it - there was no date on it either.

I sheepishly admit it's still as true today as it was whenever I first wrote it...

which means that perhaps if I had kept it within view, my bucket might have more in it.

I'm not much of a resolution person, though I do believe it's very important to have goals. 

So I'm going to own - and look at - this list more than I obviously have in the past.

Maybe you have some important things you've been meaning to focus on too?

So without further ado:
