  2. Love the list Maureen! You've got some fun things planned on your list. The walk around Lake Geneva is one that I wanted to do. I'm excited for you taking on this list!

  3. I'm inspired! I could never put a page together like this, (goal #1 perhaps), but I could make a "101 goals" list with no problems. Thanks for sharing, you make me want to be a better friend! (goal #2, touch base with Maureen everyday)
