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.
