36 While 36: March Update

Time is running out. The end of the 36 While 36 is a month away. I have 31 days to complete a handful of challenges.

By my count I have two challenges still to start and six still in progress. I celebrate that has been the most successful birthday-challenge yet. There is even a chance for a 100% completion, which I have never met.

Yet with my goal so close I fear failure. A friend pointed out today that I will have to complete two challenges a week if I want to succeed. That seems too much especially with Easter this weekend. I need to make a plan and a checklist. It might still be possible.

The Key

plain text = not started
green text = started
purple text = completed

The List

1) Choose a 2018 Word
    My 2018 word is peace.
2) Make a 40 Before 40 List
    Here is the whole 40 Before 40 list
3) Send/give Christmas Cards (36 minimum)
    I have nine cards left to give to make my self-imposed 36 card minimum.
4) Marry Someone
     Done; on September 2nd. Congratulations Chris and Becca Gilbert! (Sorry to those who thought it might be a hint at progress in my own relationship status. I am still as single as ever).

5) Be a NaNoWriMo Rebel
     With only four days left of NaNoWriMo I count this as completed. I have participated this year in the writing contest as a rebel regardless of if I cross the 50k word goal or not.
6) Memorize Philippians 4:4-9
    I know the passage! I had it down solid in November. I will need to practice more.
7) Finish Reading New Testament
    I have 10 books left to read
8) Draw Regularly (12 drawings)
    You can find the new art most Wednesdays
 9) Write Down My Children's Stories
    I've written out 3 of the 4 stories
10) A Day of Silence
    I think this was one the last two lists, I finally completed the challenge last week. It was a day I needed. I've already made plans to have another retreat in a few months.
11) Cosplay a New Character

Petronella Osgood and Zygone Osgood

Or is that Zygone Osgood and Petronella Osgood?

I will never tell!
