“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.” ― Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

Goals Completed: 34
Goals in Progress: 28

I’ve finished cleaning out the trellis in the front yard, and I’ve also done work organizing both the garage and the greenhouse. I’ve placed the next part of the tire garden, and cut, inverted, and labeled all of the tires. Next: mulching, and filling them with topsoil. Then, more tires. I need five more tires to have the base level of the upper garden complete.

I spent some time at the Great Vow Zen Monastery (#35), and completed basic meditation training and a three-hour service. Although I was unable to attend the Work Day, I’ll be attending more classes and a retreat as soon as I can. I’ve reviewed my credit report as I do yearly (#93), completing that goal. I completed my physical exam (#85), also completing that goal.

I’m working on geocaches with difficulty/terrain combinations I don’t have (#96), and I’m still studying for the MAC exam.
