Ninety-nine Memorable Experiences (Kind of like a Bucket list)
ninety-nine
memorable experiences
I have been meaning to play along to this fun post for ages. I've just been waiting for the right moment....so why not now? It's a great way to begin a fun weekend.
I originally spotted this post and idea on Letters from Coco, who got it from Julia at World is my Oyster, who got it from Stars Pink World.....anyways, you get the idea. It's kind of like a bucket list. I don't know where the list started, but it's something to think about and have fun with.
It's a list of 99 memorable experiences, and you highlight the things you've done or accomplished in your life.

What a wonderful idea! I just love saw whales by chance (happened few months ago). I'd probably put my spontaneous kayak trip last weekend in there too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Reese!
This is a sweet idea... I like it that it's acknowledging what you have already done and not just what you aspire to do. It's a great exercise in life-satisfaction!
ReplyDeleteoxo
You, world traveler, have marked quite a bit off the list! Looks like I need to do a little more back in the good ole U.S. of A.!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a beautiful weekend!
This is great! You've accomplished a lot!!! on that list!.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment on my blog! I'm really excited to read yours and all about all these adventures you've been on!
So now you live in Italy?
Oooh this will be exciting! :o)
This is a cool list. I especially like the idea of going skinny dipping (it just goes so against my natural tendencies) and buying a stranger a meal.
ReplyDeleteHolding a praying mantis? Hmm, I never thought about that one.
I love this list!! I may post this on my blog! love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun list! Also a fun way to get to know you better1
ReplyDeleteI love this. Now it has me thinking of what has been the highlights in my life!
ReplyDeletei made a 30x30 list when i was 18 and did almost everything (not married, can't drive a stick shift).
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun list and you've done so many of the items on it!! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteTruly brilliant initiative, Reese!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we sometimes pass by special little things in life without even noticing them, and don't really see how important they are until they're gone...Simple tiny things are the most beautiful life experiences!Somebody said "I had a wonderful life altogether...I only wish I'd realized it sooner..."
A big hug and have a lovely day
