life list {accomplishments}

i don't remember exactly when i started this, but earlier this year, i created my life list (things to do at some point in my life). i thought the new year would be a good time to see where i am with it. there are currently 117 things on my life list and so far i have fully accomplished these seven:

• find a site online to backup my digital photos (i'm using flickr)
• own a pair of red high heels (got these for christmas)
• light candles more often
• enjoy honey
• post more photos to flickr
• host a christmas party
• re-read some favorite childhood books

the ones below i've done partially or are in progress:

• participate in, and finish, the 365 photo a day challenge...decided to attempt this for 2008
• learn to make a few dishes well (in progress...i have a few, but want a few more mastered)
• make some fun crafts out of felt (i did some christmas ornaments but want to do more)
• buy a laptop and get wireless (i got wireless at home so i can use my work laptop, but still don't have a personal laptop)
• make more handmade decorations (did some for christmas but want to do more year-round)
• know more about politics so that i can be a more educated voter - in progress, but need to hurry with the primaries approaching, plan to work on this all year until november
• support DHF as it grows - ongoing
• send more cards and handwritten letters - i sent some halloween cards. i did christmas cards but there weren't personalized letters or anything...

that's it...not much, but progress. you can see the full list here. I guess the key to having a list like this is to use it as motivation but not stress out over not doing enough!
