Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. ~ Rick Warren

Last year I published 26 Things to Do Before I Turn 27.

Here is what I accomplished on that list~

  • Eat a food I have never previously tried  7/18/12 – Jack fruit
  • Make pizza on the grill  8/3/12 – see post here
  • Go to a wine tasting  9/12/12 – Breax Winery in Loudon County, VA
  • Run another 5K – October 2013, Komen 5K, Lex KY
  • Make homemade pasta 9/15/12 – gnocchi 
  • Repair a relationship. If not able to repair it, heal from the loss and move forward.  

Not nearly as successful as I thought I would be. I have a lot of things in the works. This next year, I want to keep on track. Accomplish more. And have as great a year next year as I did this year!
