Tractering the days away.

10.03.2015

For the last two days I've been tractering intensely.  I spent twelve hours over the last two days.  Just maneuvering the bucket was a challenge at first, now I can pull out full buckets fast enough to get comments from the other ants.  Feeling like a fish out of water had become normal for me and now I feel like a have a useful skill that I will get even better at.

I have heard mention of the philosopher Seneca in three different books.  At the third mention I though I have to find out more about him. It didn't take long to download an audiobook of his work off librivox.  Hopefully this will be my first great step into what can be called a "liberal education."

I gave my grandparents a call.  I wall really good to know that they thought of me and when I told them what I was doing they told me they were proud of me.  I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.  It means a lot to hear that form a member of my family tell me that.  I've been having some doubts that now I fell the rightness of what I'm going here.  God willing I'd carry this feeling with me into the future.
