Goals/Life Update - Day 763/1001

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. - Foster C. Mcclellan

Since the last update, the garden field has been tilled by Steph’s dad. Now, over the winter, we’ll be figuring out what to plant and the irrigation system. We’ll be having a lot of rain over the next week, so the timing was good. Indoor activities, including cleaning and organizing the greenhouse, will be a priority. I’ve also started working on the American Red Cross Disaster Response Mental Health certification (#49).

Our trip to Seattle for SeaCompression went well, and we had enough time to visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park before rangering. Meditations for the puja continue, and I’ve almost completed the first two days of my fast (#12). The usual headache and lethargy is lifting somewhat, although I’m still having problems staying warm. I’ll be hosting a geoevent on 11/6, and needing to find a geocache on 11/8 (the last day of the year I need to fill in of my Finds by Day of Year supplemental goal). I’ll still have one day left for next year to complete the goal.

New word: mishegoss, a Yiddish term for madness, behavior without logic, or foolishness.
