I started my 40 before 40 list with less than a year to complete it; this time I’ve got about 9 and a half years!  The last list spurred me  to do things I likely wouldn't have completed. Writing it down is key. I will be pulling from this list to spice up my annual goals each year now through 2029.    

Some are serious, some are silly – all are good! 

 Forty realistic things to do/continue doing/stop doing in less than four months (in no particular order):
1.  Travel to a place I’ve never been (One down Pass-a-Grille, FL 6/2019)
2.  Try SUP (stand-up paddle boarding)
3.  Go see a local band
4.  Buy a lottery ticket (Done! Not a winner!)
5.  Try 4 new-to-me restaurants (Done!)
6.  Learn how to make Finnish braided bread and do it
7.  Buy an outfit that’s out of character…better yet, let a friend choose (Done!)
8.  Celebrate with friends (Done x2)
9.  Meet my dad for the first time in a decade (Done x2)
10.  Finish my home office (Done!)
11.  Go to a local coffee shop (Done!)
12.  Create a big list of things to do before 50! (Working on it!)
13.  Eat a vegetable I’ve never had before (Done!)
14.  Try a new hairstyle or color (Got it cut shorter than I've ever had it!)
15.  Watch the sunset with Tony (Done!)
16.  Read 4 more books (Done!)
17.  Toes in sand, beer in hand (Done!)
18.  Schedule a regular massage (May done, June done, July done!)
19.  Take a short trip with mom (This fall)
20.  Run a 5K (wasn't up for extra cardio -teaching a lot of Jazzercise classes right now!)
