Goals Completed: 12
Goals in Progress: 36
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: This is the section I have worked on the least, despite regular days in the gym. I have only trained Tai Chi for fifteen weeks this year, and no hard-style martial arts at all. I have run a 5K and a 10K, but not finished the goal with a half marathon. I was not fit enough to run the Spartan this year, and I have deferred to next year. Pushups and situps and chinups and burpees have not been tested in some time. 5 of 11 in progress, and none completed.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I have also completed no goals in this section, although I have worked a bit harder at these goals. I have completed a Puja and one other spiritual ceremony, and I'm in progress for a second spiritual ceremony (the Five Precepts). I have worked hard on eating mindfully, I've engaged in my yearly fast, and my sleeping patterns have begun to recently improve. I've read a few books, both from my permanent library and new books, but not as many as I would like. I'm slightly behind on haiku, but that'll come. This will be the third month in a row that I have been meditating daily, and I have kept up with formal Zazen meditation. I am considering a week in a local Zen Monastery during the Winter. 8 of 12 in progress, none completed.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I've kept up on the most important things in this section. I have gotten enough CEUs for the year. I've gotten my First Aid/CPR certification. I've gotten the Whorse and the daily vehicle serviced, but not the bus or the motorcycle. I've changed my passwords for all of my accounts once, although I've not backed up my hard drive (haven't used it). I've gotten a dental exam and physical exam (my only completed goal in this section) and kept up on my credit reports. 1 completed, 6 of 9 in progress.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I've gotten some of my goals done in this section, but not enough. I've had two of three different formal tactical defensive shooting courses. I've completed Wildland Firefighter Certification and made progress with my structural firefighting certification. I've attended four of five of the Red Cross/CERT disaster preparation classes, and three of five FEMA/NWCG online courses. Ol' Number 3 got a beautiful and sturdy new deck, although antennas and solar panels will have to be in progress for awhile. I have completed training, mentoring, and worked Ranger Intercept at Burning Man this last year, although the Whorse still needs some rehabilitation. 3 completed, 5 of 15 in progress.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: This is the section I've made the most progress with, this year. There are still spaces for new adventures, although less than when this list started. I went to Hawaii this year and went snorkeling, as well as hiking an extinct volcano or two. I also earned seven new Junior Ranger badges, visited five different lighthouses, went to the top of the St. Louis arch, found the oldest geocache in 11 states, and completed the geocaching Finds by Hidden Month (Jasmer) challenge. I've also gone to 3 of 10 of both concerts and performances, visited 5 of 10 museums, and 4 of 10 hikes in the Columbia Gorge (although a fire has devastated much of this area). I've soaked in 2 of 5 natural hot springs, found one geocache more of the Oregon History Challenge, and added completing a second Fizzy/Jasmer as a goal. I've gone on 2 of 3 week-long road trips and 18 of 20 shorter road trips. 8 completed, 10 of 33 in progress.
