37 for 37
Bible Study Cousin came up with a genius idea for her 40th year of life. She created a list of 40 experiences that she wanted have that year. Some were personal and others involved interacting with other people. Even though it was her list, I had a blast helping her knock some of the items off the list. I was so inspired that I created a 35 for 35 list. Neither of us got the list completely cleared, but it made for some interesting experiences. Since I have free time, I decided to create a list of 37 experiences that I want to have to celebrate turning 37 this year (37?!?!?). I’ll keep you updated on my progress.
- Complete three 5k’s. Maybe run one of them….hmmm.
- Complete a 10k. Just one…..let’s not get beside ourselves.
- Eat at 12 new (to me) restaurants in the Central Arkansas area.
- Lose 37 pounds and never find it again.
- Read 12 new books.
- Host a murder mystery dinner party again. The first time was amazing!
- Start a Bible study group with a different circle of people. Spread the love!
- Go live on Facebook one day just because.
- Ride in a hot air balloon.
- Go on a hike in one of Arkansas state parks.
- Save $10,000.
- Turn a cartwheel on the beach.
- Go zip lining.
- Spend a weekend in a cabin.
- Perform 12 random acts of kindness.
- Leave a $200 tip at a restaurant.
- Have a book launch party.
- Sell out of my books!
- Dance in the rain.
- Learn a new dance. I’m so behind the times that I have plenty of options…LOL.
- Bake 12 desserts that I’ve never baked before. Lord, I won’t be able to shake Bible Study Brother.
- Read through the entire Bible.
- Take Bible Study Mama on a monthly date.
- Sew a quilt.
- Learn to knit or crochet. Haven’t quite decided which.
- Go on a real date.
- Try to skateboard.
- Sit with my grandmother and write out our family history. I keep putting that off, but it needs to be a priority.
- Finally compete with my cousin for the official title of family historian. This match has been years in the making.
- Take a new entire family photo. It’s been 8 years, and that’s way too long.
- Install the back splash in my kitchen.
- Make 12 different vegan recipes.
- Start a vegetable garden.
- Work on having beautiful rose bushes.
- Memorize the book of James.
- Watch 12 sunsets.
- Remain committed to God and these daily blogs.
So there’s my list. You might want to consider making a list of your own. You may not be able to cross every single item off, but I can GUARANTEE you that your life will be enriched and enhanced in your pursuit. My quest won’t begin until May, but I like to think ahead. I can’t wait to share my experiences with ya’ll. Hopefully you’ll have experiences to share with me. #wepreach
