DECEMBER UPDATE - PLANNING SCHEDULE - MY YEAR 77 ACTIVITIES


"You have exactly one life in which to do everything you'll ever do.

Act accordingly."

~ Colin Wright

======================

I'm calling the twelve months from July 7, 2017 to July 6, 2018 my YEAR 77. I'm going to fill those twelve months with as many of my favorite activities as possible, and I hope to do many of those things with friends and members of my family. I'll clear out what remains on my "Bucket List" and I'll repeat things that I really enjoyed doing in prior years (at least those things that I can still do). I don't view these activities as great achievements, just things that I enjoy. There are specific days that hold memories for me and I will also write about them. Hopefully I'll be able to include some interesting photography.

The purpose of this particular Blog Page is to help in planning activities to be undertaken in future months. As plans change I will update this page. As activities are done and a blog published, the activity will be colored BLUE. The current month will be first on the list; past months will be moved to the end.
