It was a typical Monday, well except it was Tuesday, but you know what I mean. We are in the middle of remodeling the office and I am surprised at how the disorganization is bothering me. Kimbra would tell you that I am not usually very organized so I should feel right at home, but there is something about it that bothers me. Any way, as for the challenge I was able to give my daily encouragement to Griffin while he practiced soccer.
I have often heard that writing down your goals is half the battle. Once you have them on paper your subconscious takes over and your mind is suppose to begin mapping out ways to accomplish them. I now believe it whole heartedly. It seems I find my mind drifting to the list when ever it is not actively engaged. I also wonder how my life might have been different if I had started this process 10 years ago. I guess it really doesn't matter much now. The important thing is what direction my life's journey takes from this moment forward. To borrow a line from a country song, I can't wait to see the next 50 years!
Make it a great night!

Day 1
We are back from the lake sunburn free, well almost, and fired up about our list. Kimbra and I talked a lot about how we were going to accomplish our task over the next 1001 days. We both started reading our non-fiction books. I choose to start with an oldie but a goodie, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and Kimbra started with "The Radical Leap" by Steve Farber. It may be a bonus book for me as Kimbra read a lot of it out loud on the trip home.
The kids are tired and I my self would like a small nap, but I doubt that will happen with the clothes that need to be folded and the other little things we need to do before we are ready for the week. But, the list is well under way. I was able to encourage Kimbra today about her ability to deliver an outstanding customer service talk. We'll see if any more opportunities come up today to cross an item of my list, maybe bake a cake for Kimbra! Make it a great Labor day afternoon.

The LIST!
Because we are heading to the lake I wanted to get the list posted today before we leave. It has been an interesting two weeks contemplating the 101 things I will do over the next 1001 days.
When Kimbra first emailed me the idea and I read Drew's list I was instantly energized. I thought it would be a breeze, but as Kimbra and I began to think about all the things we wanted to do, we realized that we have been blessed. We have have had the opportunity to do a lot of things we read on other people's list. This really humbled both of us as we realized how wonderful life has been to us.
It also made making the list a little more tasking as we wanted to make sure we pushed our selves, but did not take for granted the simple pleasures life in Levelland affords us. Having ramble on for too long already here is the list with out further ado : Dave's 101 List
