You have done some amazing things in your life. What a great idea! It really puts it in front of you what your life has yielded. I hope I will sit down and do this!! haha I might save it for the next time i am feeling blue.
PS I have actually skinny dipped too but does it count when you are married?? haha
Loved the list and it made me realize that making a list like this and looking at it often is a great way to remind ourselves how much we have done and how much we have to be grateful for.
You've inspired me to make a list of my own....thanks!
