it is awe-inspiring the amount of determination that is bursting out of a 5 and a half month old little bundle of flesh and spirit. she's rolling over every day and started the double roll today - back to belly then on to her back again.
i started a "101 things to accomplish in 1001 days" list today - click here to make your own. one of my goals is to post the list on my blog and be accountable for it. determination to achieve and improve never leaves us. we're born with it and it haunts us the rest of our days!
so, don't waste a day. live, grow, improve, fall short, learn and love it!

I'm so excited that I inspired you! But okay, I won't comment on goals yet because I want to have a ton of time to look through them all first! So I'll be back... :)
I love your list! So many of those are on
My mental list of things to do. I'll wax your pits any time, and we still need to do a sewing day together!
#1 is such a good idea! I picture Danny and I doing that in like 100001 days though :)
Wow, you’re going to kick my butt in the 5K!
A triathlon! Let us know and we’ll cheer you on!
#24—inspired!! Wow, I might have to steal that one! Is it for Aaron or different people throughout the 365 days?
#25 was on my list too, but then I moved it to “someday” because I don’t know how to go horseback riding around here! It’s not like in Eureka when I had Remie Smith and Amanda Mitchell to play with and ride on their horses!
#28—not necessary, but good luck! And share your secret! :)
#29—I’m scandalized!!! Though after accomplishing #28, I guess you want to show it off ;)
#43 I also moved that one to someday…that’s so cool that you and Sarah want to write together! Ooh, I just thought of another awesome goal for you! Medley family CD!!! With original songs I dare say!
#48 Boo ya!
#52 You and Mel both! Must be our Eureka roots!
#56 Such a great idea! I always feel foolish when I can hardly find the big dipper!
#60-65 I love seeing goals with siblings! I tried to do that too!
#76 hahaha! Nice one!
#80—Yes! Or even just track the water intake! I try to drink a lot, but I have a feeling I don’t since things just get so busy!
#86 I hope you love Zumba! Fun times once you let go and just dance even if you’re clueless like me! :)
#100 Mel inspired?
#101 Vinegar drink? Huh?
You gave me so many great ideas!!! Now I’m going to have to fit some into my list! Go Miriam!
Awesome!! Love the picture and love the goals! What a cool ripple effect...I was randomly stalking a friend's blog, noticed her list, made my own, Ana saw it and made hers, and then you saw hers and made yours! Focusing/tracking goals and celebrating accomplishments is so essential - it helps us challenge ourselves to not just go through the motions of life. And when we look back over these lists in 3 years, we'll see all of our accomplishments! I just checked a few off my list and will watch your's and Ana's progress too!
