52 things

I am a list maker. I like to have things written down in front of me so I can physically check them off when done.  I admit that sometimes my lists give birth to new lists, but that just keeps things interesting right? Sprittibee says “Lists are living, breathing, always-changing reminders of things that you don't want to forget about... things that are important to you.” and I couldn't agree more.
Today I am linking up my list of 52 things with Spritiibee’s Big Fat Annual List. I think my list is manageable and compact. So without further adieu here is my list.
