Cool, limebirdbeth just sent me to check this out because I said I needed a new challenge and she suggested a bucket list. Such a good idea! Good luck!
Thank you! I’m so glad that this is spreading–I think bucket lists are just a great idea. Big or small, it’s nice to have things we want to do with ourselves and a reason to make them happen.
Run a 5K with me! I can help you train =)
Ooooooh challenge accepted.
