I’ve been inspired by several bloggers who have been sharing their progress on goals in the common format of 101 goals in 1001 days. I’ve been floundering in not enough busyness and spending too much idle time or time on wrong priorities. Add that to the fact that a new liturgical year starts Sunday and I don’t seem to be any better than I was this time last year. And that the main message of the readings a few weeks back was that we are not guaranteed a tomorrow so we should always do our best today! I need a little structure for that.
So without further ado, here is MY 101 goals in 1001 days list to be completed by Sunday, August 26, 2012.

So how are you doing with your project? How many have you crossed off the list? I think this is a popular topic and it would help others to see the progress.
Great ideas… thanks
