Creative Writing Class - The Harvest

Experience week so far has been an amazing 'Experience'!  I've realised many things about myself.  One realisation hit me just this afternoon and it has to do with harvesting.  As a person I am constantly beating myself up about the fact that I'm lazy, I don't do enough with my life, but when I look back over what I have achieved just in the last year, I am in awe of myself - did I really achieve all that?

I've fostered a dog for 6 months; I've created a new system at work to deal with intruder and fire alarm calls; I've volunteered at the Olympics; I've been in a car crash and had to buy a new car; I've run a house; I've paid off a 5 year loan; I've designed a successful treasure hunt for a friend's hen do; I've been there for the same friend throughout her wedding preparations and the day itself and many other things beside.

What a rich and wonderful life I lead.  I've harvested so much from it, I only hope I can safely say that I've sown as much as I've reaped.
