And you still gotta mow it!!

My dream was always corporate, never made it, probably never will, the reality is, the lifestyle probably wouldn't suit me anyway!

But I am pretty happy to be where I am! I seem to have fallen on my feet, like all posters I could probably do with a little more cash, but then who can't? The work is challenging and the job second to none, wouldn't even dream of doing anything else for the time being.

Probably the important thing to remember is that no matter where you are, or what your dream is, make sure you take time out to 'smell the roses', for the best part life is pretty good!

High Flight By John Gillespie Magee

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless falls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor eer eagle flew –
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
