Who Am I in 2012?

When I begin a new year I like to look back and reflect on what has gone before then look forward  and make goals for what is yet to come.  One of my fellow bloggers came across a list she had made about herself 5 years ago and shared it with us on January 1.  I read her list and made up my own….but waited til today to share it with you because yesterday was my Project 365 day.  Have you ever thought about who you are?  If I had made this list 25 years ago it would have been very different from the list you are getting today.  I decided that since this is a new day….I am taking a hard look at just exactly who I am and what makes me that.  Warning:  There are 100 of them....and you may get bored before you read them all.  That is ok....scan them and see if there is any one that speaks to you.....
