As inspired by a great friend, Caleb and I finally sat down to start individual "100 things to do" lists. We wanted it to be a mixture of fun and self-improvement, wishes and goals. I don't know why Caleb seemed to whiz right through his list (he's got just over 50 so far) and I seemed to go a little blank (I struggled to get to the high twenties), but it's an ongoing process that I think will be beneficial to us.
Some of Caleb's goals include "Rent a supercar for a day" and "Write in my hand-written journal every day for 6 months"; I think both of those are so superbly Caleb.
I had a few gems, such as "Punch someone in the face" and "Donate all of my Christmas gifts one year to charity." That wide expanse between purely selfishness and charity is something I don't know whether I should be worried or proud about.
We are very blessed to be able to make lists like this and not have to include things that pertain to our daily survival. Making goals is a part of what makes us better human beings and making goals that can aid others is what helps us become nearer to each other.

This is awesome! Holly, I totally want to read your list. It says so much about you, and I think you should be proud of your wide breadth of desires.
