My Somedays

I'm not sure if my list quite covers 100 things.  I'm pretty certain it  must come close.  There is so much world to see, so many adventures to have, so many dreams to chase.  Instead of nearly numbering them, I put my items into categories, crossed out if I've achieved them, asterisked* if I'm working on it, and numbers in brackets (1) show how many times an item has been completed if it's repeated.

Rock on!
