This is my take on the Bucket List....usually a list of things you want to achieve by the time you "kick the bucket"....my bucket list is one of things I want to do/achieve before 2011 kicks the bucket!!

These are not extreme wants/achievements like most on a bucket list......but simply a list of things {in no particular order} I want to achieve throughout 2011 in the ongoing battle to regain control of my life....in order for me to take hold of depression/anxiety/agoraphobia/apathy and throw it as far away from me as I possibly can....to try and gain myself back!

I have separated them into four categories of my life....all of which are important to me, but the MOST challenging are the Personal Goals. 

There will be things I can "check" off the list and things that will remain firmly where they are placed {to be carried forward to another expectant year} and no doubt things I will add to the list as the year goes on.....no worries, above all this is a NO PRESSURE bucket list.....only commitment!

If you have decided upon a bucket list for 2011, or in fact a list of things you want to achieve before you kick the bucket, share them here so I can follow you, comment and encourage you or just read and admire your achievements...don't be shy, I want to see how you get on.....

Above all, remember the key words:

NO PRESSURE....only commitment!

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year....

and to say thanks for taking the time to follow me here, on Facebook or Twitter and for all the gorgeous comments/encouragement that you have given me!

Health, happiness and lots of love to you and your families for 2011!

hugs

hello gorgeous xxx
