I've decided to write a list of #100things I would like to do before I die, I've already accomplished a great deal in my life and ticked off many things in my head on an unnumbered list, but this is the written list I will carry with me.
The writing of this list was inspired by Ryan Inglis who wrote his own list after reading a book by Sebastian Terry. I haven't read the book, but I will take Ryan's word for it that it's good.
After Ryan wrote his list life began to present him with opportunities to tick things off of the list - he has just walked 500 miles to raise money for Shiva, which isn't a regular everyday experience. So, here I am with my own list...
