For the month of September I’m doing an on-line course with Shimelle.com<\/a> called Learn Something New Every Day. There’s a prompt for each day and I thought it would be a good motivator to post more regularly on this blog if I wrote some of my responses here.<\/p>\n

The question for 1 September arrived in my inbox this morning (because of the time difference between the UK – where Shimelle lives – and here). It was: What was your last big adventure?<\/p>\n

Adventures? I don’t really have them! I’m not physically brave, and have limited energy and stamina, so the tramping, cycling and kayaking adventures that Richard has aren’t really for me.<\/p>\n

However there are adventures of other kinds, and I decided that ‘adventuring’ from the safety of my known job at Wairarapa REAP<\/a> to the unknowns of the Greytown Library<\/a> was probably the ‘biggest’ adventure I’ve had recently. Ahem, that was over two years ago!<\/p>\n

The Greytown Library is in this lovely old building – originally the community’s Town Hall. I took this photo just after I’d posted off my application for the job, back in July 2010.<\/p><\/div>\n

The lesson I take from this is that I should ad<\/strong>venture out of my comfort zone a lot more often than every two years!<\/p>\n
