A Cheery Start

An old man greeted me this morning as i cycled into work today with a cheery 'Morning' which seemed as heart felt and sincere as any so brief greeting between strangers could be. I obviously replied with a chirpy, 'Good morning', trying to emphasise the Good. I was earlier than usual, but it really made me consider whether i should come earlier everyday, just to see this man.

So i finally managed to go swimming before work (hence my early start). It was ok, as ok as any exercise can be, but it has unfortunately meant i have now felt like i have licence to eat anything i want all day. This included a crispy cream doughnut for breakfast!

Have now written an application for the Rainbow Farm, Brazil, which was a great exercise, and somewhat stumped me when it asked, 'What can you do for the organisation?' i find it hard to write all my skills and offers without seeming vane or like i am inflicting something upon them, I will come and improve your organisation. Its weird how so many various random skills can come together to be relevant, from being a good horse rider (from decades ago), a current practitioner of family dynamics and trying to keep children in the home, to having analytical skills from my masters giving me the resources to assess and evaluate any project they want. I kind of feel sometimes like i walk along my road picking various skills from the tree's at the wayside until i will one day reach the market with a full basket and a contented mind.

Task: Make a list of all my accumulated skills and email it in my completed application form to Rainbow Farm.
