complete 43 things

I completed “Drop 43 pennies in random places so that people can find them and feel lucky” the other day.

I haven’t been completing many goals lately because the goals I have been doing have been longer-term ones like “Do the A-Z author challenge” and “Find one thing each day that makes me happy and record it every day for a year”. But I’m making progress with these goals; it’s just that I’m probably not going to finish any new goals for a while.

I found another I’d done already:
19. Live in a foreign country.

And I recently completed:
20. Identify 100 things that make me happy.
21. Revamp my goals for 2009.

I like this goal – it gives a sense of achievement to the things I’ve completed already and helps to focus on what I’ve achieved as well as what I’ve still “To Do”.

So far, I’ve done the following:

1. Fall in love
2. Make Firefox my default browser
3. Go camping
4. Read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
5. Live abroad
6. See the pyramids in Egypt
7. Type with 10 fingers
8. Dance in the rain
9. Judo (= start learning judo)
10. Eat sushi
11. Read the Harry Potter books
12. Escape light pollution and really see the stars
13. Grow cacti from seed
14. Donate blood

I have also just searched for goals and found a couple more that I’ve already completed:

15. Fly first class
16. Learn to make fire
17. Make a snowman
18. Get completely soaked in the rain
