half way home
well we are officailly at the half way point of our planting contract. things are going really good and i have settled right into life here. i think that when this is all said and done it will have been a very good experience for me. it has really made me think about alot of things that i have been putting off for some time now. partially because tree planting is pretty mindless work and there isnt much else to do besides think. but even more then that it was just time to work through some stuff. it has been a long year for me this year. i remember writting one of my first entries on this way back. i had said it would be a good year for me to be alone and just figure stuff out. well i didnt really take advantage of my year much. in fact, if anything, this year was quite bad mentally. i really became very stagnent and complacent. being here, in a community again, has really helped me regain some perspective. i think that i had forgot what was really important to me in life. And that is to love God and to love people.
