30 by 30

With my birthday sneaking up on me, I decided to use 2012 and my big 30 to set some serious goals.

Obviously my biggest goal is to walk.
To kick this wheelchair to the curb.

So this is my list of 30 by 30. Some are long term goals that will take lots of practice and work, others are moments that I would have never thought to think twice about before, maybe even taken for granted.

All are milestones and accomplishments, 30 small steps closer to my ultimate goal.  

1.  Be able to dress 100% by myself
2.  Have my own vehicle
3.  Drive
4.  Donate my hair to a cause
5. Sing in church
6. Cook an entire meal myself
7. Be able to style my hair
8. Buy new shoes that I can put on myself
