I started this on January 14th but didn't start to publish to a blog until January 20th.
Well yesterday I have made it to #56 so far on my list but I have begun to accomplish items on my list as well. I will add to 101 when things come up that I want to do. The one item on my list that I really enjoy doing and it’s a pay it forward kind of thing that we should all do is #54. As most of you may have heard of the terrible earthquake in Haiti, what a tragedy. I kept seeing on the news the terrible photos and it just makes you want to do something. I wished I could have gone down there to help I wished I could have done more but every little bit helps. So I seen on the news and in an email I had received if you want to donate to Haiti thru the red cross then on your cell phone text “Haiti to 90999” and $10 will be donated to Haiti. What a great thing, could you imagine if everyone did that wow what a boat load of money for help towards those poor people in Haiti at a terrible time of need. I know it’s hard for some so I feel if you can donate no matter how big or small it all helps. So that’s what I did. Actually I couldn’t figure it out on my cell phone so I had my daughter do it thru hers. “Hearts to Haiti”. #54 is forever and ongoing..”PAY IF FORWARD”
So #36 I have started. I emailed one of my friends that had taken me kayaking for the first time back in 08 seems like a long time ago. Time does seem to go by quick so make the most of it. Get your list out, accomplish things. Start changing them to red or atleast green. Anyway I emailed Emma and asked if she was still interested in starting a kayaking club and she was all for it so when the weather gets nicer we will start that but in the mean time I have been doing a lot of research on line about kayaking and starting a kayaking club. Should be fun am looking forward to getting out on the water and paddling. Best part we will be out having fun and learning and meeting new friends and teaching them. I am sure we will all learn something from each other.
Now #46 is easy for me. I work with the public so I see a lot of people every day and I am very thankful for them being my repeated and new customers at my store every day. I help them by offering the services they want in my store and they help me by coming in everyday and paying for my services. So this is great because whether they know it or not we are helping each other. Paying it forward every day. That’s a wonderful thing. So I guess it’s safe to say that #47 will never be completely accomplished because it should and will go on forever. (“Paying if Forward” is one of my favorite movies of all times, check it out if you haven’t seen it)
#48 I have also started this. I am doing this in hopes after you all read this it will get you motivated to make your list of 101 things to do in 1001 days and that you stay positive and motivated to accomplish all 101 things on your list. You will see once you write them down you will be more motivated and go to your list everyday and start a journal/blog it will be easier and more motivational for you to get your list accomplished. Just try it…I would also like to talk to people who have done this or who are in the process of doing it to get their thoughts and advise for others on doing it.
#55 is also easy for me because working with the public I see lots of people every day and I am a pretty silly, crazy (good crazy not insane crazy) person. I like to make people laugh. Sometimes it just happens I don’t even have to think about it. Silly things just seem to come of my mouth. But making and seeing people laugh sure makes me feel good. Nothing like the sound of laughter and a smile on someone’s face. So as with #47 this one will never and should never be fully accomplished either. It should and will go on forever.
So stay positive, keep motivated and Pay it Forward.
