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.
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 January Update
My 2023 Goals List Progress
It’s a different kind of 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 first monthly update.
- Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress, but I’m not 1/12 of the way there. I walked 56.8 miles. But I did sign up for a run in February and I’m hoping that gets me excited about entering more.
- Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1. I didn’t start until January 8, so I had some catching up to do, but I’m there now.
- Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m holding steady at 3 pounds down. Maybe more. 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, feel free to 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.
