October 1st has arrived, and so begins my quest to complete the 101 things on my list in 1001 days. I was in a bit of a frenzy last night. These first few days of October promise to be exciting, but busy for me. I wanted to think of the list and only the list, but I've got the birthdays of three very important people and a baby shower to think about in the next four days alone.
Then I reminded myself that I have 1001 days. Not 101. Not 10. It's not a race, and even if it were, the tortoise reminds me that slow and steady is the way to go. Right?
In the spirit of the tortoise, and my very own #62 (which, I have a feeling, will become a theme in a figurative sense throughout my quest), I am going to take it slow & steady. Today, I am going to write the letter to myself and tuck it into my underwear drawer. After my busy but fun weekend, I will go at my list with a paced gusto (if that's even possible).
To all the 101 in 1001-ers. Good luck to you! I am so excited for us all!

Just for you, Jennie... I suggested this to Derek last night and we're both going to do a list! It's a great way to figure out what's really important to us. I'm working on my list today (but I'm still going to use the 10-01 start date!)
Thanks for the idea!
Hooray, Diane! Good luck to you and Derek! I agree, I think the only thing that can come from trying is Good! Even if I only accomplish half of the things, I'm better off than if I didn't begin.
oooh thanks for reminding me that I have to write a letter to myself! I almost forgot :O )
