I didn’t know you had cancer…
Also, you met me! A stranger who knows you from your blog ;)
You have some seriously fabulous things on your list…things that really required LOTS of thinking.
This is such a great insight into the wonderful mom, woman & friend that you are :)

There are so many items on your list that would be on mine. Next time we see each other, we’ll have to chit chat in Russian. :) Okay, I have forgotten a lot of mine and refreshing it should be on my bucket list.
What a wonderful list and I’m gonna have to pull from it when I do one day write my own.
.-= Amy´s last blog ..Oh to change one thing- what would it be =-.
All these lists today are great. I can’t imagine coming up with that many things.
.-= Jen´s last blog ..It’s Nice to Know I am Not the Only One =-.
Wow, what agreat list! You’ve inspired me to come up with one. I love reading stuff like that. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I really appreciate it.
.-= jeana´s last blog ..After the Business =-.
Paying for a house with cash, that would be just amazing. Can you image not have to pay a mortgage each month?
.-= Allison´s last blog ..Better Than Ever =-.
There are some really great items on your list. I chose the same prompt and found it to be difficult, actually only thinking of 99 items that mattered. #11 is a great one. I would also love to be able to provide piano lessons for all of my kids (and buy a good piano!). #19 is a goal for me also.
I almost put no. 55 on my list, but then I realized I’m really not smart enough to invent anything. LOL
I am loving all of these lists, and yes, it was really hard to do.
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..The Bucket List =-.
WOW – kudos to you for coming up with 100! I did the same prompt and I just drew a blank on 100 things. So I’m doing it in parts. Great list!!! I’m a new follower stopping by from Mama Kat’s workshop.
