Things To Do Before I Turn 40

I know I have done a few of these lists already, but I can't help it. I love making these lists. There is a lot I want to do in my life, and I want to keep a record of all that I want to do, and of what I have done.

I am hoping to do more in my life, to make it a fuller one, a one that I can make the best out of. I feel like I am not making the most of the opportunities that are out there, and I really want to change that.
