grim23I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. - Stephen Covey
Goals Completed: 3
Goals in Progress: 22
I’m continuing my meditation practice (#22). I believe I need it. Last night I responded as a Red Cross DAT worker to a single-family fire in Vernonia, where the people had lost almost everything. Pets, clothes, shelter, food, medications – all gone, with only a burnt out, dripping shell of a house surrounded by emergency vehicles and firefighters and bright flashing lights left. I briefly considered attending a Sesshin on Gratitude at the Zen Monastery (#21), but I cannot justify moving all of my clients, priorities, and other time conflicts for a week of peace. This has to be my lesson on gratitude.
I have my phone working, my laptop functioning, my truck running, and things slowly being replaced from the theft. I’m getting organized and focused, and taking care of business. Tonight I’ll train (#01, #10), meditate, and organize my Red Cross Disaster Relief supplies. I’m sure they’ll all be needed soon.
