Wouldn't it be nice...

Something I take a bit of pride in is accomplishing goals. I'm a scrounger, and my mind works like a scrounger. When I see something that could be useful in the future, I make a note of it in my head. It usually comes in handy. Similarly, when I see something that looks like it would be fun in the future, I make a sort of "soft goal" or "bucket list". It's a goal (big or small) with no timeline and no intensity. But when the opportunity comes along, I take it.

Here are some examples of some older soft goals I've accomplished:

I chose not to include the soft goals I haven't accomplished yet, but the list is much longer than what your see here. What are some of your soft goals?
