Nifty 50 Update


 So far, being 50 has been excellent! This has been a great year and I have done some fantastic things already. But with only 6 weeks until my 51st birthday, I still have quite a lot on my list to get done and with my knee injury, there are things that I'm just going to have to put on hold until later this year, or find a replacement activity. I figure since I made the list (and the rules to go with it), I can make any changes necessary. I'm 50, I can do that. And the fun thing about life, it is constantly changing so it only makes sense that my list should reflect changes as well.

I've color coded my list:
Blue items are things that need to be put on hold until my knee heals. Ten total.
Bolded items are the things I still need to do.  22 total. Yikes!
Red items have been completed. 18 total. Seems like I've done more. I may have to look at all my pics again.
