    Well, I certainly enjoyed your life list! I am pretty jelly of somethings you have done like zorbing, living abroad, and the color run!

    Reading through your list made me want to add more to mine! But I can’t! As it is I’m hoping to accomplish it by 2035 and I really need to get cracking on it. Post-pandemic, of course.

    Thank you for the link love it is much appreciated!
