50 in 518 days

I had an idea from Hayley Powell’s blog. She is doing 30 before 30. So I set out for a list of things to do in a particular amount of days. After much thought and consideration I decided to do the 101 in 1001 days. Then I sit down and tried to come up with a list of things to do or accomplish. After starting the list I ran out of things to put, so I decided to do 50 in 518 days. I figure that I will have half the time but half the things to do. I hope to start a new list after this one to finish the 101 accomplishments. Guess I will see how I do on the 50 first. I challenge each of you to try something similar. It gives great accomplishment to finish a project and this is a very large accomplishment.
