My 2023 Goals April Update
My 2023 Goals List Progress
It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope you are better than me. Here is my April monthly update.
- Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/3rd there. I’ve walked 246.30 miles for the year. That’s only 61.58 miles a month. I really should be doing 83.34 per month for 12 months. I’m hoping that May is better. I’m trying to hit over 5,000 steps at least a day. That means I walk in the morning, at least 5 days a week. I’m hoping to turn this around in May. Wish me luck.
- Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1.
- Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m up and down. I am only three pounds down, but I know I need to work harder on that. If I continue going up and down, I need to be closer to ten pounds to remain 5 pounds down for the year. We have a class reunion coming up next year, so there is more incentive this time around.
So if you have a list, share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year–either longer or shorter?
Requests, Prayers, Intercession, Thanksgiving

Retirement and the Resurrection
You may think I’m confused by the title of this blog post. But I’m not. Retirement and the resurrection go together, at least to me. And I hope to you, also.
Retirement is something most of us look forward to one day. Some people are afraid to retire because they feel they will be hopelessly bored. To help with boredom, I have posted over 125 things to do once you retire (see below.) And that may be great, but I have realized I missed one thing on that list. And that is where the resurrection comes in.

My 2023 Goals March Update
My 2023 Goals List Progress
It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope you are better than me. Here is my March monthly update.
- Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/4th there. I’ve walked 187.5 miles for the year. My excuse is too much rain. However, there have been a lot of sunny days that I didn’t take advantage of.
- Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1.
- Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m up and down. I am at 5 pounds down, but I know I need to work harder on that. If I continue going up and down, I need to be closer to ten pounds to remain 5 pounds down. These are the same five pounds I didn’t lose last year. We have a class reunion coming up next year, so there is more incentive this time around.
So if you have a list, share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year–either longer or shorter? Good luck.

My 2023 Goals February Update
My 2023 Goals List Progress
It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope better than me. Here is my February monthly update.
- Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/6 of the way there. I’ve walked 140.8 miles for the year. Moving helped me add on extra miles. Hopefully, it’s warm enough soon and I’m done unpacking and I can start a regular walking routine.
- Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1.
- Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m up and down. Currently, I am at 5 pounds down, but I know I need to work harder on that. If I’m going to continue going up and down, I need to be closer to ten pounds down to remain 5 pounds down. These are the same five pounds I didn’t lose last year. We have a class reunion coming up next year so there is more incentive this time around.
