Anyway, in my search to find fulfillment in setting and reaching goals, I remembered a friend of my who is doing a 101 goals in 1001 days. Since it is such a long period of time, I could set goals now, to be accomplished at a much later date. Also, I could start working on projects to finish much later. Plus, there is a million things piling up that I need motivation to do, so starting this list was therapeutic for me.
I started on Jan 20, so I will end on Oct 18, 2015. I am missing a couple of goals because I thought I could add some come next year :) I realize some of these are out of my control (Witness a miracle, Add another best friend) and others are lofty, but I think that by having them in mind, I am more likely to accomplish them.

Good list Jamie. On pinterest it suggested to turn all your hangers around until you wear the item of clothing. I did it and will get rid of all the clothes I don't wear in a year.
This is great! Hey, we can be the friends you go on a vacation with. :)
You exhaust me! I don't know anyone who is more of a go-getter than you! I love it, and it makes me miss you!
Yeah!! You did one!! I remember you saying you were going to do one years ago. Glad you did it. You will love it. Just finished my half way through mark in time and goals. Good luck!! Keep me posted on how it turns out!!
I love how goal-oriented you are and you've always been a great example of setting and accomplishing goals! I definitely could do better at goal-setting and making resolutions. Thanks for all your great ideas! It's a really good list and knowing you, you'll actually follow through. I'm going to try the hanger thing Carly suggested as well that way you know exactly which clothes you never wear! :)
Wow! what an amazing list. I need to make more goals also. I am looking forward to going to dinner and doing something with my photos. Good luck and I'll help you out when I can.
