How I did it: I'd been searching for the perfect songs for so long, I came up with a pretty good mix, made a CD and threw together a doodle cover.
But then I wanted to find THE perfect bench to leave it on. I carried that CD everywhere.
Finally, after a long day at work today, I just left it right on the bench by the door. I was exhausted and upset, so doing that made me feel better, making that bench the right bench.

I'm already putting together Mix 2 (which will have some Alphabeat, Moby's cover of "Temptation" and Mads Langer on it.

Lessons & tips: This goal was purely for fun, but so many of these goals we set help us pace our behavior and our lives.
I left the website 43things.com on the CD cover and a note saying, "If you don't want to listen to this, please leave it for the next person" in hopes it won't end up in the trash. Maybe the person will be curious and go on this website.
The site's helped me focus in on my goals and join a network of supportive people, I'm very thankful. I keep telling everyone to join!

Maybe bench person will want to too and it'll help them like it did me.
