Turning 50!

I will soon be turning 50, and like many other people when they approach a significant milestone, I have had a look at my life so far and assessed what I have done, where I am at now, and where I am going. In order to celebrate the upcoming milestone, I have made some lists of things to do before I’m 50 (with a 50 theme). I realistically don't think I will achieve many of these before I am 50, or ever really. But by thinking about what I want to do, and making these lists, I hope to be more productive and do more of the things I want to do with my life. Let's see how I go.

These are my lists at the moment, obviously a work in progress. I'm aiming for 50 lists of course.

  1. Make 50 lists (how am I going so far? 7 actually started, 22 other ideas, and none completed)
  2. 50 things to do (now)
  3. 50 things to do (eventually)
  4. Give 50 tips
  5. Do 50 acts of random kindness
  6. Visit 50 countries
  7. make 50 Kiva loans
  8. collect a photo of myself from every year
