Harvesting
It is time for the year's final harvest. It is time to take stock of what I have sown, and what I have reaped.
The ending of my marriage does not go well: my ex is very angry with me, and I cannot, with a clear conscience, say that all of her anger is unjustified. I was denied a promotion at work because I allowed myself to become distracted in ways that affected my job performance. My emotional scars have made it necessary for me to abandon romantic relationships. One new relationship that seemed to hold so much promise has turned to ashes. My finances are not as promising as I had through they would be at the start of the year.
These are the bitter fruits. I planted the seeds. This is what I have sown. The cycle must be completed. I must reap.
What I have lost, where I have failed, and the damage I have done, all are because of the seeds I planted, and the labors I made, and did not make, in tending those crops.
I accept my actions. I accept my choices. I accept the consequences.
I have made great strides in conquering The Pit. A friendship I feared was lost last harvest is now in full bloom and stronger than ever. I have re-connected with old friends. I have formed new friendships. I have been able to support friends in tangible ways. My awareness has grown. I have become healthier and stronger than before. I have learned to stand up for myself. I am facing my fears. I am fighting back. I continue to grow.
These are the sweet fruits. I planted the seeds. This is what I have sown. The cycle must be completed. I must reap.
Where I am, what I have, and who I have become, all are because of the seeds I planted, and the labors I made in tending the crops.
I accept my actions. I accept my choices. I accept the consequences.
This is my harvest.
