40 New Things - The List
Tuesday was my birthday. I turned 39!
I've been looking forward to my birthday! This marks the beginning of the next year, the year before I hit 40!
Life surely doesn't end at 40. Much of life will remain the same. It is a mile stone though, a big one! I can't believe I'm almost 40!
While I was in UT, staying with Lynette, she gave me this idea, to do 40 new things before I hit the age of 40. I thought that was a great idea, to have a new experience, or do something I've always wanted to do, own something I've never owned, just something new each week, for 40 weeks.
What a great way to see life, focus in and experience life, enjoy life! I'm totally doing it!
I'll keep my list here, and update my posts as I go. It will be fun to collect all of my things in one spot.
