Goals for 2017

It is New Year’s Eve (December 31st 12:01 A.M.) and I’m recollecting all that has happened this past year. I’m not going to lie, 2016 has been a very interesting year. A lot of good has happened and also a ton of surprises (both exceptional and lousy.)

While relaxing on my bed with my puppy (Monte), I was thinking about how I’ve never really set goals for myself in the past and that maybe I should for 2017!

So here are 60 things I would like to accomplish or do in 2017, I will try to come back to this post and cross off those which I have done/accomplished.

I guess, you could sort of call this a bucket list.

Goals for 2017
