101 in 1001: 62/1001

If you’re doing 101 in 1001, how’s it going? I think I’m progressing, albeit at a slow speed! I’ve revised my goals, by re-writing, deleting the odd one or two that I’m either no longer interested in completing, or aren’t really goals or objectives, but something that will inevitably happen in my life, anyway! I’ve also re-organised them, which I suggest everyone does, if you haven’t already!
