Goals/Life Update - Day 704/1001

"War is an ugly thing.  But not the ugliest of things.  The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.  The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing that is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertion of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

Readjusting to my new home, The House of a Thousand Projects. Today we explored the local town, got a library card, opened a bank account, explored more of the property, and harvested grapes. I also rebuilt the composter. Tomorrow, we will start the canning/preserving process, pick more grapes, and also start the weed eating/grass mowing process. I hope to get much of the outside grounds, and some of the outbuildings, in shape before winter sets in. Oh, and building bookshelves.

I’ve started lists of bus maintenance, bill paying and banking, work/studying, and house restoration. I will be slowly reintegrating back into various social circles. Decompressing this year from the Burn has been both a process and a challenge, and I am in no hurry.

In the next week or so, I plan to visit the local Zen Monastery (#35), start running again (#3), work on the requirements for ARES Field Operator (#104), start on the license requirements as a Psychologist (#43), and work on CEUs (#45).
