17 before 2017

uncategorized

Every morning I wake up and I write myself a “to-do” list. It always starts with: meds, make bed, coffee. Three things I’d do every day anyway, but man it feels good to check things off right away.

I’ve been thinking a lot about life. and I was thinking about how I tend to be a dreamer. I always have fifteen thousand ideas running through my head, and I often say “we should….” and then get so overwhelmed with things that should happen that I choose to do none of them. Anyone else feel me on this?

Today I’m sharing a to-do list for the rest of the year, because I love myself a to-do list.

  7. Sign up for & complete a 5K
  8. Complete a Pinterest project
  9. Take a craft class
  10. Finish a 30-day photo challenge

  1. I’ve debated starting a post of monthly goals, maybe if they’re on the blog I’ll actually do them? I do love me a good to-do list. Also, emailing you my address because I’d LOVE a letter.

  2. When my husband and I go out for our anniversary we like to leave the waitress a big tip and it’s always so fun! We left $20 at A&W a couple years ago (it was a full service A&W) and our waitress was a high school girl.

  3. I love the idea of making a list like this! I make a to-do list every morning, and every morning I put “shower, get ready” on it. Of course I would do that whether it was on the list or not, but it feels so good to cross it off right away! 🙂
