This is a forever changing, dynamic list based on my wants and desires as time goes by. If I remove a goal, I will place it in a section at the bottom of the list showing that I once wanted it but it no longer fits in with my ideal. I will be checking back on occasion to shuffle, change and update my list.
At the bottom, I have also put some extra life achievements that have never been specific goals, but I am proud to have done them never-the-less.
