Well this is something I’ve been waiting for MONTHS to happen. My third 101 in 1001 quietly fizzled out after a rough year or so of my life. A lot of things fizzled out and honestly I’ve been in self-preservation mode for awhile. Between empty holes in my heart being filled by new friends, a new church, and my sweet baby, I’ve been starting to feel more like myself.
Like I’ve previously written about when I’ve shared things I learn through my 101 lists, life changes SO MUCH. and sometimes you look at a list of things that mattered when you were a whole different person 2.5 years ago and it kinda stings. It hurts to remember who you imagined being in your life and celebrating you and you need something fresh.
So here it is, my 4th 101 in 1001 list. I don’t even know how many I accomplished on the last list and I’m not gonna worry about that because those 1001 days included some of the hardest ones in my life. Those days came to an end and with it, a desire for something new and fresh.
Here’s the deal with these 101 lists. You make a list of 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days. They can be anything. In my years of doing them, I’ve learned that you have to base them on who you are now, not some mythical perfect human being you hope to be at the end of them. You can follow along with the 101 in 1001 link at the top of my blog!
