Just a little sidetrack for today - I spent this morning digging potatoes. While my hands and back are making themselves heard now, this emphasised the sense of achievement from creating something from sratch. I planted the potatoes, Daad watered and weeded, and then we all got out there to dig them up. There is a lot of work involved, but I really think they taste better than anything you buy at the supermarket. And you get a warm, satisfied and slightly self-righteous glow when you finally get to eat them!!
A good metaphor for persistence and the rewards of a bit of hard work maybe?!!!!
Good on you Erin! I am so adjusted to suburban life, I don’t think I could survive if I ever had to move avay from the convenience of the supermarket. As for the metaphor, it’s simple and true. I’m working on my EET now and know that once I’m done I’m going to be so incredibly relieved once it’s done!
