Catching Up & Christmas Wishes

Yikes, I haven't posted in a while again. The last month has pretty much been the busiest ever, at least in my post-MS life. It has been a good month overall, but rather exhausting. I've been trying to rest up the past 2 days because the next several will be filled with festive family fun. I've been adding to my list of topics I want to write about here, though, when I do have time and energy.

One thing I will be writing about a lot more soon but that I want to mention here is a list I'm writing. I will turn 30 in one-year-and-2ish-months and I'm making a 30x30 list - 30 things I want to accomplish by the time I'm 30. I'm trying to do some things I always talk about or think about doing but never do and I also want to push myself outside my comfort zone and do things that are scary. That said, I want this list to be a source of personal growth and enjoyment rather than a stressful obstacle. I have several items that are going on for sure already (try 30 new foods, go ziplining, learn to sing and play this song on ukelele, do 30 hours of volunteer work, get a massage, take my mom on a trip out of the US) but I am trying to get input as I work on finishing the list. For readers of this blog in particular:  I want at least one item to be MS-related, specifically to be some kind of MS fundraising goal. I haven't done any of the walks or other events, so I will probably do one of those, but I would like to create some specific fundraising goals and I'm not sure how to go about this. Tips? I would also love any other suggestions for the list from an MS-informed audience. I'm looking for things that will be fun, easy, scary, hard, good-for-me, rewarding, meaningful, etc. I need some items that will be easy to cross off as I'm already collecting quite a few that have me wondering how I'm going to get it all done in just a little over a year!! Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I will leave you with my most sincere wishes for a wonderful Christmas and a joyful holiday season. May you have the best health you can, get enough rest and enjoy time with loved ones!
