My daughter recently posted her 50 things to accomplish for 2014 here that she did for last year. She posted it at the beginning of the year and then again at the end to see how she did. I've always been a list maker so was thinking maybe I should try this too. Let me tell you it's hard coming up with 50 things. It's even harder to do a blog post after a year of not doing them lol And to top it off I'm using my new Apple computer. So much new stuff - guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.... it's just really really hard.
So without further ado here's the list:
1. knit afghan for Donna
2. finish sweater for myself
3. make one more Barbie wardrobe
4. make 10 prayer shawls for Prayer Shawl ministry
5. Exercise/walk 3 days/week

46. read through Bible in a year (again)

Reading through this now I see I will need to do lots of lists or calendars so I can track everything. What have I done to myself? lol Oh well, a challenge is always a good thing. Helps to learn and grow.
By the way, this list is in no order at all! Just mumbled things that came to mind over a few days while searching my mind for 50 things. You think it's simple? Try it!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! "Be the change you want to see in the world."
