Milestone w/ Free App & Bucket List Check

            On February 28, 2014 I checked off an important item to me on my bucket list.  I finished reading the entire Bible.  This book is probably the best 50¢ I have probably ever spent.  

             I started out with what I thought was an unusual event with this book.  On the night of March 1 when I decided to start reading, I opened the book and.....

Found something in the book on that date!

Red rose petals!

          I flipped through the rest of the book and found no more. For some reason, finding these rose petals on THE day I opened the book to start reading, compelled me to be determined to finish. 

           I carried this big heavy book on all my travels over the past year, including to my Mother's for weekends.  The only time I didn't take it was on the Route 66 trip.  I managed to read 2 weeks ahead so I wouldn't get behind and discouraged.  

          About a month before I finished, I found a copy of this book (Yearly Plan) on the FREE Bible app called

You Version @ https://www.bible.com/app 

       This app:

*can be used on a variety of devices

*read online via a browser

*offers several versions

*offers various videos from different Bible movies

     Then on March 2, 2014, I hit the milestone of being retired 1000 days.  "Bonus Days" of my life I call them.  I started an itinerary journal on my first day of retirement.  According to the dictionary, one of the definitions for itinerary is: An account or record of a journey. I feel everyday of retirement is a journey.

      I have a book for each year.  It's small to make it easy to stuff in the suitcase when I need.  I have numbered each day and have messed up the count a few times.  Just to make sure I count correctly, I use a web site where you can plug in dates to determine the number of days between each date. I like to go to http://www.timeanddate.com/date/duration.html. So if you know your special day, plug it in and see how many days it's been.
