Goals Completed: 10
Goals in Progress: 36
Fall has returned to the Pacific Northwest, and with it more turning inward and reflecting on my life and more healing, both for myself and for my clients. Despite my own preference for being by myself, other people, other priorities, and other activities have kept me from accomplishing those goals as of yet.
I've really not been able to get to the gym and train hard as planned, but I will. I've not been able to train, either. No significant progress with the Body Section of my goals.
In the Mind/Spirit section, I have been meditating daily since the first of October. I've also sat a couple of times of formal Zazen, and I'm likely to get completely caught up tomorrow morning. I will be participating in the Autumn Ango, a 2-month period of more intense meditation practice. I may spend a week again at the Zen Monastery during this time, and I will probably take the Five Precepts class and ceremony. I was going to engage in my yearly fast, but that will have to be delayed a few weeks by other activities I have agreed to attend.
In the Maintenance section, I have upgraded my daily vehicle to a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. She'll be able to tow the Whorse, and get around Portland and Oregon when the weather turns icy and snowy. She came with an excellent maintenance record, and a complete inspection and tune-up. Speaking of which, I'm due for a physical exam with my new physician.
In the Zombie section, I have signed up for Winter Fire School in Salem, where I'll spend two days learning about Vehicle Extrication. Carla and I have replaced the degraded decking on Ol' Number 3 with new composite decking that will drain standing water, and be lighter and stronger than the previous plywood deck. I'm hoping to be able to get a company to professionally install solar panels on the new decking before the weather completely turns.
I was able to get one more geocaching day hike with Faye to a mining ghost town in Washington, for a total of 17 one to three-day hikes this year. I may attempt to get three more hikes in to finish this goal.
Imbalance, time
more clarity, truth
pushing boundaries
Season turns to Fall,
revealing the Inner Self
avoid distractions!
Cold and wet weather!
put away the shortsleeves
find jackets and hats
