Things Worth Doing, 1-25
Mighty Girl was the first blog I ever read on a regular basis, and is still one of my favorites. Her recent 100 Things Worth Doing is so amazing. Inspired isn't a strong enough word to describe how these made me feel when I read them. Because I love lists (like many of my internet heroes) I am going to compile, in no particular order, my "Things Worth Doing" here. I'll do installments. Like Maggie, I've put 25 together for the first part.
