30 Things To Do During Deployment

Yesterday I blogged about my resolution to be more positive about deployment. I spent all day finishing my deployment "to-do" list. I enjoyed every minute of contemplation over what was list worthy. I hope this list may be inspiration for someone else going through deployment or just feeling "stuck". The list is long but I have PLENTY of time to complete my "to-do's", aka deployment bucket list. It will be interesting to see where the list takes me.
