2017 Goals - 50 in 50

On New Years Eve, I made a more serious list of a few general goals for 2017. That list addressed my intention to be more organized and diligent in my home and in our homeschool. But I've also got another set of goals for the year - a list of some more personal things I want to do before my next birthday. You see, my birthday is on one of the last squares of the calendar, and as you might have figured from my graphic - yeah, I just hit the big five-oh. Last year I got the idea to make a Birthday Bucket List of fun and personal things to do, one for each year. It was a challenge to come up with 49 things then, so even if I keep on making Birthday Bucket Lists for years to come, I don't think I'll ever aim to put more than fifty items on the list!  This year's list will include some of the same items, either because I didn't get them done yet or because I want to do them again. Some are just for fun, and some are more serious, and many are somewhere in between. As I did last year, I will list them in random order, except for the first item. (You can see last year's list here: My Birthday Bucket List)
