Hey Janne, thanks for your nice comment on my blog and for linking me in your post (but could you correct my name? it’s Bianca…)!
I love some of your ideas, too! Especially #4 and #5! I will keep them in mind for next year’s list. Linking other lists is a nice idea… I will also do that!
Good luck with your list, too. I will look around your page a bit more later. Looks very interesting!

Oh my goodness, what ambitious people! Since I am 60 already, I can’t imagine the pressure of promising myself so many things! The lists are more manageable when one is younger, because there are fewer items, lol.

I thought it was pretty hard to think of 42 new ones, different from last year. But I think the trick is not to be too ambitious, and make some of the goals very down-to-earth and ordinary, yet nice.

Yes, that makes sense — make them little treats instead of big burdens! I’ll start working on mine today! Thanks for the idea and the ‘boost’!

Heh, well great list. Before I turn 42? Well I want to be 41 first (again) Can I be 41 again please?
October 14th, 2010 at 10:22
The interesting question is, what would you do IF you were 41 again?
Would you really do anything different? Or would you just like to re-live those years?
