The little moments are what I live for. The moments of spontaneity, the unplanned moments. Like yesterday when myself, my parents, and my little sister had a little jam session to Britney Spears in the basement. I love those kind of moments, but of course I realize not every moment should be filled with pure spontaneity I believe that life should be a mix.  Times of spontaneity but also times of meaningful planning. It’s always a great thing to have goals, something to strive for. Back in February I created a list of 101 in 1001. Things I wanted to accomplish by November 2014. To be honest I haven’t paid to much attention to the list. I guess I’ve enjoyed having more unplanned moments than planned moments. But I actually love that because when I look back at the list, I see that I have been actually been doing a lot of things on the list. So here is just my update on my 101 in 1001 list!
