Thus Have I Done


I figured I should give an update on what I've been up to the last not-so-little while.  Too much has happened to go into detail so I'll just give an outline.  What the heck, I'll start from when I left work.

Here's an outline:

  • Summer 2011: Left work. Vacationed.
  • Fall 2011: Sampled life in the Rural Northern State.
  • New Year-ish 2012: Went to Southeast Asia for simple life and volunteer work.
  • Summer 2012: Returned to the US to see a friend get married and see a new nephew.  Spent time reconnecting with friends and family in the Rural Northern State.  Met new group of friends.
  • Summer 2013: Began volunteering in the Rural Northern State.  Completed first short meditation retreats.  Hiked a small portion of the Appalachian Trail.  Vacationed.
  • Fall 2013 - Spring 2014: Continued and expanded volunteer work.
  • Summer 2014 - Winter 2014: Continued volunteer work, but transitioned to working more on my sibling's new house.
  • Now: House is finished.  Wrapping things up for the next phase.
  • March 2015 - ?: Return to Southeast Asia.  Attend long-term meditation retreat(s).  Whatever else happens.
