27 by Twenty-Seven

My birthday is June 4th. I will be turning 27. I decided to give myself a list of 27 things I want to accomplish by then. I am not much for New Year resolutions, but I do love to set goals and make to-do lists. I will try to blog about each item I cross off the list over the next few months.

1. Do something I have never done before in my hometown
2. Do something that scares me
3. Replace one average item I use everyday with something that is interesting and I love
4. Read a book from a religion that differs from my own
5. Let go of 3 grudges
6. Plant a garden
7. Finish a quiet book for Mia
8. Go offline for 3 days
9. Try 5 new recipes
10. Make cloud dough with Mia
11. Give something broken a new life
12. Get rid of 15 things from my closet
13. Buy or pick flowers for no reason
14. Have my girlfriends over for a meal
15. Write 5 thank you notes, just because.
16. Say yes to one thing I would usually say no to
17. Exercise at least 5 days a week
18. Monthly date night
19. Make a Honeymoon photo album
20. Find a recipe for squash that I actually enjoy
21. Sew a project just for me
22. Fix my pearl necklace
23. Go on a picnic. With a basket, blanket, and plates.
24. Get chickens
25. Go to the farmers market and make a meal using only the items I purchase
26. Let someone come over to my house even if it isn't clean (this could go under something that scares me)
27. Watch the sunset

This should be fun and doable. I think I will start my 28 by twenty-eight sooner and make my list a little more challenging. I am excited to accomplish this list. One goal I should probably add to the list is letting go of any guilt for not accomplishing something on this list.
