So, in saying all of that, what are your "lists" for dreams, goals? It does not matter how outrageous they are, or how unexpected, outlandish, or plain downright crazy they may seem, write 'um down! And then tell me! I challenge you to blog your own list, add to it, edit it, and make it as long as you want! Trust me, my list has been growing for a few days. Give yourself those goals and make it happen. It does not have to be all for 2010-use it for life goals, things you want to "do/be/buy/give/see" and use this year as your time to work on achieving those goals.

So, go forth and make thee lists, then post them for me to see! I'd love to see what you ( if there is anyone out there!! ) come up with! :) Happy riding!
