19 of 24 complete.
One miss was the Refuge Coffee 5K when the hurricane came through. We were registered and ready.
Huge miss on all things Spanish. Carretta's for HBD lunch to speak Spanish (I was sick with COVID and never revisited). "Live" Spanish class on app (turns out they weren't free on the app). Find a Spanish partner (didn't look, just hoped).
Didn't subscribe to Disney so never watched Hamilton.
A little stretch -- maybe a miss, but I'm counting it as a win. Book Luncheon. I did a book lunch with my bookclub which was a success, but when I put this on the list it was a lunch with friends with a little different vision.
Best: Raised garden bed
Most unexpected win: Pocket at Pigeon Mountain (it's such a long drive with a short calendar window, but I finally went)
Most work: Raised garden bed
Biggest FS push: Ape Sanctuary (weekend with friends of a friend)
Most straight fun: Ape Sanctuary
Biggest disappointment that I failed: Spanish partner
Am I happy with the list? Anything I would add or subtract anything?
Yes, I liked the list. Nothing I would change. The list has a lot of things I kept saying I wanted to do and never did -- those were a big win (Ladybugs for the garden, Walk to Grove Park Inn, Theater in Asheville, Replace Hydrangeas in back, Ape Sanctuary, Historical Tours).
What did I learn?
Making the list works. Somethings are kind of silly, some are hard, some are super simple. It helps design my year. Helps see where I want to focus better (I'm taking to you, Spanish) and see the areas I want to explore. Lots of "just for fun" things. Everything on the list has a reason. Maybe it's something I keep meaning to do and haven't. Maybe it's pushing me out of a comfort zone. Maybe it's something I think my FS would do (be her now).
I wonder if I'll ever have a year I complete the list? Unlikely, but fun to try.
Next up ... 25 for 2025.
