1) Choose a 2018 Word
     My word is still in process. I'm leading a "My One Word" small group at my church only the weather has been against us and we've had to reschedule. I hope to have settled on a word by February 10th.
2) Make a 40 Before 40 List
    Here is the whole 40 Before 40 list

    All the cards were made, nine were given. I have this plan to send the rest next week.

• 3 Unstarted

I am quiet happy. This might be the first year I complete the whole list. Did I make the list too easy? I didn't think so, I am still very surprised by how much has already been accomplished.

For the regular readers, thank you for your patience during my posting absence. I normally am whipped after a month of posting everyday. This year I also some health issues that wiped me out. They are now under control and my regular-sporadic posting will resume. I took my family to see Paddington 2 tonight. Maybe I'll do a movie review of it soon. I still want to write a review for Jumanji 2 and there is also a Star War that could be written. We shall see.
