Life is short. It really is. I feel that there is never going to be enough time for me to do everything I long to do. So I thought about prioritising, about listing every single thing that could ever make my life complete. This list goes through 100 of these goals. Some of it has been done, some could be done today, and some are going to be challenging to say the least. I see it as some sort of guidelines to make my life matter and count, to never hold any regrets when standing on the edge of my grave.
Remember, it’s all about the journey, that’s why I’m going to make mine count.

Merci Mathilde pour avoir lu et aimé plusieurs de mes articles sur mon blog. 🙂
Je dois vous avouez que j’ai souris en lisant votre liste qui demeure une très bonne idée.
Je vais peut être en faire une aussi mais sans doute privée.
J’imagine que cette liste numérotés ne tient pas compte de vos priorités.
Sinon avoir un enfant en 61e position m’a fait bien rire. 😀
C’est des rêves de jeunesse, ils en faut. Certains pourront vous sembler futile avec plus de maturité.
