As I was creating the 2012 version, there were a few items from the previous list that I realized were no longer relevant and some things that I was able to check off. A couple seem pretty significant, some not so much.
~ Getting a new car. It wasn't brand new but it was new to me. Checked off.
~Do something meaningful. Spending five months living with my Grandma was meaningful to me. I hope it was meaningful to Austin and my Grandma as well.
~Make a difference. Again this was accomplished at Grandma's. I hope that somehow I was able to make a difference in her life. I hope it was for the better.
~ New living room furniture. I did get a new sofa, but have added a TV and entertainment center to the updated list.
The 2012 version is a shorter list, not for what was crossed of but because of what I decided I no longer wanted. I really don't want to go to Mexico. The 2012 version carries a lot of the old, has some new, a few items will remain on the list forever as a reminder of what it important, and a few items may never get crossed off but there is always a possibility.

I'm just impressed that you have a list! It's the perfect time of year for that. And don't ever question that you've made a difference in someones life. We do that every day, with just a smile to a stranger or a compliment to a preson in need of one. Have a great 2012!
What a great idea! Good for you for crossing things off the list and readjusting it as you go...
Happy New Year!
Yes, Mexico is off my list now too. It's a time for refreshing resolve. Helping others is a stellar goal. I hope 2012 is a good one.
