**Below is what is currently depicted on my "Birthday Bucket List" tab ... I have updated it to reflect what I have done. Soon, since my birthay is this coming Saturday, I will be creating a new list and the tab will change. Anyways, just to recap the year..........
Each year before my birthday I come up with a list of things to do before my next birthday. The number of things I put on the list is the same as my age. I have been doing it for several years now and I really like it. Links to posts that are about that particular item on the list. I you would like you can check out last year's list (on my old blog) here:
