Popping Bubbles

Yesterday I told you I was making a list of 99 goals I wanted to accomplish in the next 99 days. I did it. Some of them are serious and time consuming, others are frivolous and silly. The point is that they are MY goals. They are things I want to do. Some will help me relax, some will help me in my quest to become a better person, some are just for fun. I’m going to print out this list and tack it to the bulletin board above my desk.  I am going to use bright markers to cross off every single item.
