40 Before 50: The List
At the end of 2022, I will turn 50, and I have been inspired to create a list of forty things that I would like to do before I turn 50. This is neither a list over which I am going to beat myself up if I don't achieve them, nor is it a list that has anything really outstanding on it (because, you know, pandemic times)! The list has been scaled back to really local and quite achievable. I am sure (hope) that there may be time in the future to think about seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland, but for now the goals have had to adjust to the reality that coronavirus measures throw at us.
