30 before 30

 In all its imperfection

I had planned to post this on my half-birthday, for no reason besides my own love of symmetry. But as I mentioned in the last post, this cold&flu thing is no joke and has continued to worsen. So although I did drag myself out to achieve one of my 30b430 goals yesterday, I did not get this post written up. So I'm posting it now, knowing that chasing your dreams does not have a time-stamp, and the idea of "being behind" is meaningless, because no one is walking your same path.

I'm giving myself 18 months to get these done, as I wanted to fill my list with meaningful things. Not fluff to make up a number, or things I put off so that I can check them off a particular list. And I may very well change this list as I go along, discarding something that is no longer important to me, adding on something fulfilling. Some are deep and storied, some are things I've never tried that I think would be fun. Some are just a way to get me out of my house, or my routine, a challenge to think and move and evolve.
