Life in Numbers, a year later

Oh, how sweet memories are. What a gift when they remind us we are living the best life we choose to create.

365 days ago I set an intention, a 730-day to-do list for my bicentennial celebration. Here’s the progress:

✅ son hitched, uniting my favorite business guy with our fav literary gal

✅ hitched to a swell fella myself

✅ weeks away from snuggling our first grandbaby. Counting skills honed ready for all those itty bitty fingers and toes

✅ seen our favorite Englishman three times since then and two more scheduled on the horizon 🎉

✅ waiting for our fav gal to get her white coat, coming late summer 2024

✅ fav college student slaying it in adulting, character, and responsibility

✅ tickets purchased to Peru; dates set for climbing a big.dang.rock

✅ told my boss I had babies to cuddle, white coats to celebrate, and moutains to climb with my fella, then told him he’d have to find someone else for the most.sedentary.job.ever

✅ head to Cardinals Opening Day Thursday

✅ totally prepared to slay this next decade (or 1/2 century) alongside my family and friends

Oh, dear friends—you probably totally forgot I made this 730-day challenge 365 days ago, because I certainly did. Isn’t it a beauty how life continues fulfilling itself even when we remove our yearnings from the forefront of our minds or hearts? Grab your Spanish-English dictionary, your reading glasses, and sense of adventure, Dear Ones. We have a mountain to climb and an adventure to conquer this year. 🎉🪇💪🏽😎🥹👏🏼⛰️🏔️
