January 2-- #2 Letters and Stressing

Okay, it is only the second day and I am starting to stress about getting everything done. Sometimes I think it will be a fairly easy task and other times I feel overwhelmed. One “tick” at a time and it will get done. Actually, I will be able to check off my first goal—number 32 says that I will share my 60 list with 6 people born in 1951. I worked on the list, sealed the letters, took the picture, and have accomplished one on the list. I am feeling better just writing about it. The people I wrote to are the following:

1. Sally Ride—first woman astronaut in space

2. President Mary McAleese of Ireland

3. Bill Bryson--author

4. Harry Smith—news reporter

5. Tubby Smith—basketball coach of Minnesota

6. Robin Williams—comedian and actor

7. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield—founders of Ben & Jerry Ice cream

I wrote to seven and had to only write to 6—already I am surpassing my goals!
