40 Things For The Year I'm 40.

I promised to post this on my birthday, so here it is. I will print this and hang it where I can be reminded of it daily. As I accomplish the items, I will check them off and let you know I've done it...hooray! I don't think it really matters how old you are, sometimes just getting things down on paper is really helpful.
These are not in any sort of order, just written in the order I thought of them.
I'm excited, I think I'm going to like 40.
