New year, new goals

I turned twenty-eight yesterday! Huzzah! And with that comes an update of my page of life goals. Now I have twenty-eight things I want to do before I turn twenty-nine. Except I currently only have twenty-one. But as it says on the page, I have a whole year to come up with stuff.

I thought about copying the “27 Goals” list and going through what I did and did not accomplish, but I decided against it, for a couple of reasons. First, there were a lot of things on the list I started at 27 (learning math, starting a west coast swing routine) that were too large in scope to finish before I turned 28 (with the routine, it was largely because I started so late in my year). But I don’t consider myself to have failed at goals-in-progress. In addition, there were some goals I didn’t accomplish because I made them soon after I turned 27, and as my year progressed, they became less and less important for one reason or another.

I put my monthly goals on this blog in order to have some level of accountability (and you will notice some overlap between the items on this list and the things I report on at the start of each month). But many of the 28 Goals are just for fun, and I don’t want to report on every single success or failure. So enjoy the list, check back periodically to see what gets crossed off, and enjoy my adventures!
