101 Things to Do in 2019 - End of Year




Ah, 2019. What an incredible year. My hope was that 2019 would be just as great as 2018 ended, and it most definitely was, probably even moreso. I've always been fairly easily entertained, but I have so much more of an appreciation for life now and its little gifts than I did as I closed out the year two years ago, and that has made so much difference!!  I hope the joy I feel in everything I do never leaves me...it has truly been a blessing. I had to watch the episode of FRIENDS  where Monica prososes to Chandler at least 5 times this year, just to make sure my tear ducts still worked!! 

 I definitely didn't come near where I hoped I would on my 101 list, but looking back on this year, I don't know when I would have had time to squeeze anything else in. I'm so grateful for everything this year gave me. There is nothing I want to leave behind in 2019. Everything and everyone are coming with me to 2020!
