If you have been keeping up with the posts so far some of these will be a repeat. A few of these are also things that I want to do in the next 30 years. Goals seem like they need to have a end, a point at which you can say, "I have done this." and can move on to the next goal. I think in the coming years I need to come back and review how I am progressing. Why make a goal if you are going to them move on and ignore it.

There's a challenge out there called the 50/50 challenge where you attempt to read 50 new to you books and watch 50 new to you movies in one year. It sounds daunting but I did it this year and managed to hit 50 in June. I slowed down a bit after that but I'm still at 60 something in both categories. I don't have a lot of time to read and we don't go to movies that often, so I was a little concerned about accomplishing it, but that might help you do your 30 books.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pretty sure I can't climb a tree now, much less when I'm 60.
