Around the time of my 32nd birthday I wrote a list of 32 things that I wanted to achieve in my 32nd year. Almost half way through, I thought I should do an update on how I am going.
1- Watch a sunrise lying on the beach
2- Sell the unit and buy a house (working hard on this one)
3- Go horse riding
4- Do five random acts of kindness
5- Go on a bush walk
6- Dance in the rain
7- Read and finish 5 books
8- Hug my best friend before she walks down the isle (this is getting closer)
9- Run in a fun run with B1 and B2
10- Run in a fun run by myself (booked in and paid for two. The Sutherland To Surf is this weekend)
11- Get a new bike and ride it often
12- Buy myself flowers
13- Send flowers to 3 people
14- De-clutter
15- Dance like crazy at my brother’s wedding (this is very close too)

17- Take B1 and B2 to the aquarium
18- Play tennis
19- Have more baths
20- Try 5 new foods I have never tried before
21- Make 10 crafts from Pinterest
22- Take B1 and B2 on a plane

26- Go to the cinema
27- Eat in a fancy restaurant
28- Get as close to finishing my course as possible (getting there)
29- Kiss my husband good morning and good night every day (this is a tough one. But most days)
30- Moisturise every day (so far so good)
31- Start wearing my jewelry more often
32- Wear more bright colours
I have always been a list writer. I love the feeling of drawing that line through a task once I have finished it. It also helps me to worry a little less about all the things that are going through my head, once they are down on paper.
Various times now, I have seen this idea of writing a ‘to do’ list for the year ahead. Your age determining the number of goals on the list. Quiet simply, I love this idea.
So on my birthday I sat down and started thinking. One by one I wrote down my list; thirty two things I want to accomplish before I turn thirty three.
Here they are:
1- Watch a sunrise lying on the beach
2- Sell the unit and buy a house
3- Go horse riding
4- Do five random acts of kindness
5- Go on a bush walk
6- Dance in the rain
7- Read and finish 5 books
8- Hug my best friend before she walks down the isle
9- Run in a fun run with B1 and B2
10- Run in a fun run by myself
11- Get a new bike and ride it often
12- Buy myself flowers
13- Send flowers to 3 people
14- De-clutter
15- Dance like crazy at my brother’s wedding
