50 by 50

I turned 49 on January 22nd. I am late posting this due to 2 back to back weekends of camping, Charlie being sick and now I have the flu. My plan was to post the week of my birthday. How does the old saying go?

Man makes plans and God laughs.

My friend Laurel did this for her 49th birthday year and I loved the idea so much I wanted to copy it. Hopefully having this list will encourage me to get stuff done over the year. Some of these things are super simple and have been on my To Do List forever. Some are new goals.  There isn’t 50 items on this list either. I will most likely add things as I go along. I will try to update where things are on a monthly basis.
