100 Things I Love - #s 96-100

Every southern girl, every girl at all, for that matter, should be able to name 100 things. Not just any 100 things, but 100 important things. Like 100 places she wants to visit, 100 people she admires, 100 things she wants to accomplish in the next ten years.


For the month of April, I'm listing 100 Things I Love:

     96. University of Georgia football games.
     97. Uncommitted time.
     98. Spinach salad with hot bacon dressing.
     99. Being a southern girl.
AND (drum roll please)
     100. Living fearlessly.

Whew! I made it. Now to get started enjoying the things I love and crossing them off of my list.

I challenge you to name 100 things. Record them in your Book of Lists. You'll gain a new appreciation for yourself and your niche. You'll also have a new challenge: To cross off each of those 100 places you want to visit or goals you want to accomplish or people you want to meet. I'll work on crossing off making time in each day for one of the things I love.

Is there any better way to live fearlessly than to face up to a double challenge?

What's the theme of your 100 Things list?
