One Month One World One Year Challenge 2022

Aldo spent Sunday working on some more of his scouting badges.

He was able to make it to Pegasus scout pretty easily - just a little bit more effort and he could make it to the end of scouts!

He spent the evening taking a short hike through the neighborhood to try to become emotionally mindful. He couldn’t help but eye that big rock but his climbing skill was too low to attempt it.

Of course, the natural wildlife didn’t really want him there it seems.

Shortly after that experience, he came across some of the forest spirits and tried to make a wish.

Later, he met up with his best friend Kiyoshi at the Onsen Bathhouse.

The boys decided to go for a hike as Aldo was still trying his best to become emotionally mindful.

Kiyoshi didn’t really care for the cold weather but Aldo seemed to be oblivious to it. Maybe his near-death freezing experience gave him some weather immunity or something?

Reaching the end of their hike, Aldo was still not emotionally mindful but he did throw his voice to hear an echo and thought that was pretty cool.

Once he got home and cleaned up a bit on the lot, Aldo earned yet another scouting badge. Getting a bit closer to the end for those badges!

Still a B student and tense from the pressures of the school day, Aldo really wasn’t in the mood to do much when he got home. A popup from school didn’t go his way and now we all pay the price!

Perhaps a quick jog around the area will clear the mind and get that tense mood to go away.

Aldo recruited some wandering strangers to help him with his third school project of the year. At least it got him focused and not tense anymore.

Bjorn stuck around and helped him knock out the homework for the day. He’s really pushing to keep his grades up.

Another badge earned and Aldo was ready for bed.

Since he had achieved his A at school on Tuesday, Aldo took Wednesday as a vacation day to do some more hiking around.

Finally he was able to become emotionally mindful and complete his first aspiration!

However, those darn bugs refused to let him walk around in peace. Perhaps he should really look into some bug repellant!

Aldo took to the bunny slope on a rental sled but kept eyeing the bigger ski slopes in the area.

He finally got some bug spray and knocked out another aspiration milestone!

Trying his hand at rock climbing showed that we have a long way to go before we attempt that mountain excursion. But Aldo is trying his best.

As he got to the end of his day off, he came across a few more forest spirits and made another wish.

It was back to school as usual but this time he got to dress a little nicer now that he had earned an A grade!

Aldo spent some of his money on a computer and desk and worked on earning another scouting badge with programming.

That was enough to get him through the ranks and max out his scouting requirements. Shortly after, he quit so that he could have his weekends free again.

I made a decision to help Aldo out by buying him a rock climbing wall but the weather kept breaking the thing down. He racked up some handiness skill but really didn’t get much rock climbing done!

It was no substitute for the real thing and that is where Aldo spent most of Friday. He took another vacation day and really tried to focus on getting that skill level up.

By Sunday, summer had arrived as well as much better weather. Finally the rock climbing wall would start to pay off but Aldo kept a close eye on those clouds just in case.

The weekend was drawing to a close but Aldo finally made it to those bigger slopes on the mountain. If only he knew that his watcher was doing everything he could to get him to hurt himself - he’d never trust me again!
